WHATS "BTN" STAND FOR?

quote: "Since you have isolated which system is guilty you can further isolate the components. Try disconnecting the wires to the tail light assemblies (one at a time) with the fuse in place and see if the draw disappears. Do this with the brake light switch, headlight switch, and even the relays and you may be able to narrow it down to a single component or a certain strectch of wiring..."

k is it a boat truck van car tractor trailer lawnmower ?great describtion of the issue but ??

The 60amp fuse probably is in the circuit between the alternator and the battery. Which would be why the battery is not getting charged.
Someone would need to check for a short in the wiring between the alternator and the battery.

You have a shorted out wire somewhere. Any damage lately or accessories fitted?

Hi Lee and Chuck, Seems you have a serious short circuit in your vehicle. The fact that when the vehicle stands it will need to be jump started would seem to confirm the same. The power seems to be draining somewhere! The fuses which blow will give an indication of which circuit is shorting. If your brother wired in a music system or radio, disconnect it and then see if the fuses still blow? If they stay fine you know where to start. The music system is connected to the lights for night illumination of the controls. It may be that the earth connection has been mixed up with a power cable? If the vehicle runs fine during the day and does not give problems when restarting, it would be doubtful that there is damage to the alternator. You can check it fairly easily by connecting a test meter to each of the terminals. Start the vehicle and if while cranking the voltage drops below 8 volts, get the battery replaced. If it remains at about ten during starting that's fine. Measure the battery voltage before starting and confirm 12 volts. Once started the voltage should be at about 13 volts if the alternator is charging and when the horn is pressed and the wipers turned on together with the heated window, the voltage should climb to about 13 and a half volts. If the voltage remains unchanged or drops the alternator is damaged. Usually the head lights would be turned on to carry out this simple test but as the fuses blow you can do that when you've found the short circuit. Good luck and best regards John

I only know what it does, BTN 2 as being a 40 amp fuse for the - JB radio , CD changer , cluster , dome lamps , map lamps , cargo lamps , horn relay , GEM , power locks , speed control - but what BTN 2 stands for , I don't know, Ford company will be able to tell you the meaning.

BTN stands for Body/Tail/iNterior. It protects the HAZARD, ANTENNA, ROOM, STOP, ILLUM and ABS fuses in the cabin fuse box, which in turn protect the hazard lights, antenna, ECU memory, brake lights, tail lights, ABS, power locks, clock, horn, illumination, stereo, HVAC, interior lights and alarm. __________________
