There
are
three fuse centers on your vehicle. One
is
in
the right side of your instrument panel. Turn the knob
and pull the door to access the fuses.
The
other two fuse blocks
are
in the engine
compartment. One
is
part
of
the Forward Lamp wiring
harness
(A),
and the other is part
of
the ECM-Engine
wiring harness
(B).
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 correct size.
If
you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one of the correct value. 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 size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the switch. An electrical overload will cause the lamps
to
go
on and off, or in some cases to remain
off.
If this
happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by
a
circuit
breaker and a
fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
