Form No. 8R09-EA-02G
Your vehicles electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls dont
work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
that system and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
Fuse Replacement
If the electrical system doesnt work, first
inspect fuses on the drivers side.
1. Turn off the ignition switch and other
switches.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.
3. Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse
puller provided on the fuse panel.
4. Inspect it and replace if its blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating,
and make sure it fits tightly. If it
doesnt, have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer install it.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the RADIO circuit.
