Maxifuse/Relay Center
To
check the fuses in this underhood fuse center, turn
the two knobs one-quarter turn counterclockwise and
loosen the metal wing nut on the passenger side of the
cover. Then remove the cover. The inside of the cover
has a chart that explains the features and controls
governed by each fuse and relay.
Fuses
and
Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits
in
your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links. 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.
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 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 correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks
in
your vehicle: the driver’s
side and passenger’s side fuse blocks.
