I generally grab the fuse and pull it out.

Seriously here is a link to the 2001 Grand Prix Owners Manual. This is what came up when I googled “grand prix fuse diagram”. I suspect other years on available on this site also.

Check the fuse boxes… my Ford is clearly labeled on the outside of each box with what each fuse is for. No manual needed to figure it out. They also nicely included a little pair of plastic pliers to grip the small ones with as well as spare fuses on the backside of the box cover.

Why don’t you get a manual? Otherwise, how will you know what maintenance your car needs?

“Manual?  
We ain’t got no manual.  
We don’t need no manual!  
I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ manual!”
