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 in the wiring itself. This greatly
reduces the chance
of
fires caused by electrical problems.
There
are
two fuse blocks in your vehicle. One is at the
end of the instrumept panel on the driver’s side.
The cover will pull right
off,
To put the cover back on
make sure the tabs are inserted first.
The other
ia
in the engine compamgnt. Open the cover
on
either of the boxes to expose the
fuses.
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 correct size and rating.
Be sure to use the correct fuse if you need to replace
one. If you ever have a problem
on
the road and don’t
have
a
spare fuse, you can “borro~” one of the exactly
the same value. 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 of
the
value
you need. Replace it
as
soon as you can.
