Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses
and circuit breakers. 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. If a fuse blows,
see your dealer for service immediately.
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. 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.
The fuses are located in three fuse blocks, one
located in the engine compartment on the
passenger’s side and the other two under the
rear seat.
Underhood Fuse Block
The underhood fuse block is located in the engine
compartment on the passenger’s side of the
vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview on
page 342 for more information on location.
To access the fuses, push in the two tabs located
on each side of the fuse block cover. Then lift
the cover off.
