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 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.
The MaxiFuses are located in two fuse blocks, one
located in the engine compartment on the passenger’s
side and the other under the rear seat on the driver’s
side. If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your vehicle
serviced by your dealer immediately.
Removing Fuses
You will find a fuse puller attached in both of the fuse
blocks. Snap the wide end of the fuse puller on to the
fuse, at the side indentations holding the puller and pull
the fuse out.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
As mentioned previously,
the engine compartment
fuse block is located in the
front of the engine
compartment on the
passenger’s side. Lift the
cover to gain access.
Fuse 22 or 23 can be moved to the outer position to
enable the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter
when the ignition is not on. See your dealer for
additional assistance, if needed.
