Add-On Electrical
Equipment
Notice: Do not add anything
electrical to the vehicle unless you
check with your dealer/retailer
first. Some electrical equipment
can damage the vehicle and the
damage would not be covered by
the vehicle’s warranty. Some
add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from
working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain the
vehicle battery, even if the vehicle
is not operating.
The vehicle has an airbag system.
Before attempting to add anything
electrical to the vehicle, see
Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 1-31.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by
fuses in the fuse block. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to
turn off. If this happens, have the
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, have it fixed.
Power Windows and
Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse block
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.
Instrument Panel Fuse
Block
The instrument panel fuse block is
located on the end of the instrument
panel, on the driver side of the
vehicle. To access the fuses, open
the fuse panel door by pulling out.
To reinstall the door, push the door
back into its original location.
