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. This greatly reduces the
chance
of
damage 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.
If
you
ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that
you
can get along without
--
like the radio or cigarette
lighter
--
and use its fuse, if it
is
the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the driver’s
side and passenger’s side fuse blocks.
Driver’s
Side
Fuse
Block
The driver’s side fuse block is
to
the left
of
the steering
wheel, under the instrument panel.
Snap off the cover
to
reveal
the
fuses. You’ll
find
a
fuse
puller clipped to the inside of the cover. Place the wide
end of the fuse puller over the plastic end of the fuse.
Squeeze the ends over the fuse and pull
it
out.
Spare fuses are located in the slots labeled “Spare” on
the following chart.
When finished, replace the cover by snapping
it
back up
into place.
