If you aren’t doing any electrical upgrades to your Bronco, you probably aren’t going to be so concerned with the fuses. You’ll probably only have to worry about them if you’re doing an upgrade or repair. If that’s the case, then it’s important to ensure you get the correct fuse for your Bronco.
Types of Ford Bronco Fuses
I have added lights and other devices to my Ford Raptor and my 2022 Ford Bronco so I have blown more fuses than the average user. It’s also annoying as there are a few different fuse types aren’t always readily available at general automotive stores. I found a decent pack of fuses to keep in my vehicle from Specialty Vehicle Parts for 2021-2023 Ford F-150 and Raptor, Ranger, Bronco Essential Fuse pack.
Micro2 Fuses
Micro2 automotive fuses are small, blade-style electrical fuses that are used to protect circuits in automobiles. They feature two miniature blades and a plastic housing to prevent shorting of the circuit. The Micro2 fuse is rated for up to 20 amp circuits, and its small size allows it to be used in places with limited space. It is also available in various ratings, making it suitable for a range of applications. It is an economical choice for car owners and can be found in most auto parts stores.
Micros 3 Fuses
Micro 3 Automotive Fuses are specialized fuses designed for use in a variety of automotive applications. These fuses are made from high-quality materials that provide superior electrical and mechanical reliability, allowing them to handle higher current than other types of fuses. The design of Micro 3 Automotive Fuses includes a shatterproof plastic housing that helps protect against accidental short circuits and provides ultimate safety in the event of an overload. Additionally, the design includes a unique terminal cap which ensures positive contact with fuse terminals. This ensures maximum protection against arcing and corrosion, increasing the durability and dependability of these fuses. Micro 3 Automotive Fuses are available in various sizes and amperage ratings, making them suitable for even the most demanding automotive applications.
Split Mcase+ Slotted Fuses
Split Mcase+ slotted automotive fuses are a type of blade fuse and are characterized by their unique design, which includes a split in the middle of the fuse and a slotted body.
Split Mcase+ fuses come in various current ratings, typically ranging from 15 amps to 60 amps. They are designed to fit into fuse boxes that use blade-type fuses and provide reliable protection to a vehicle’s electrical system.
JCase Short Fuses
JCase short automotive fuses are characterized by their unique “J-shaped” profile and are designed to fit into fuse boxes that use blade-type fuses.
JCase short fuses come in various current ratings, typically ranging from 20 amps to 60 amps. They are constructed with a ceramic body that is resistant to high temperatures and can handle high current loads without melting or breaking. The J-shape of the fuse allows for improved heat dissipation, making it more resistant to thermal shock and helping it to maintain its structural integrity.
One of the advantages of JCase short fuses is their ability to handle higher current loads compared to other types of blade fuses, making them ideal for use in high-performance vehicles or applications that require more power. They are also more resistant to vibration and shock, making them a more durable option for automotive use.
JCase short fuses are typically found in the engine compartment fuse box of a vehicle, where they provide protection to critical components such as the alternator, starter, and other high-current electrical systems.
Bronco Passenger Fuse Box
This is the fuse box that’s located in to lower left-hand side of the steering wheel. You can access it by pulling down the kick trim which can be firmly pulled down from under the steering wheel.

Bronco Engine Compartment Fuse Box
This compartment is located under the hood in the engine compartment in front of the driver’s side behind the battery. This is where the fuses are for the upfitter switches.
While you can always view the key to the fuses in your searchable owner’s manual you can find out which fuses are which. However, I found a set of stickers from StickerFab that shows a key to all the fuses in the engine compartment and there is a second newer version that allows you to add the key of what components are listed in the upfitters switches.
Here’s a table of the fuses in my 2022 Badlands.
