Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits
in
your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links
in
the wiring itself. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by
electrical problems.
Look
at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If
the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
