Power Windows and Other
Power Options
The power window motors are protected by a circuit
breaker in the motor, and a fuse in the fuse panel. If
the motor overheats due to a heavy load the
window will stop until the motor cools. When the
current load is too heavy the fuse will open,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
Fuses
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by fuses and fusible thermal
links in the wiring itself.
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 a 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 three fuse blocks in your vehicle: one in
the center of the instrument panel, one in the
engine compartment and one in the trunk.
There is a fuse puller located on the instrument
panel fuse block. It can be used to easily remove
fuses from the fuse block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located at on
the lower front side of the console, on the
passenger side of the vehicle. To access the
fuses, open the fuse panel door by pulling out.
To reinstall the door, insert the hooks at the front
end first, then push the door into the console
panel to secure it.
