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
fires 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.
Pick some feature of
your
vehicle that
you
can get
along
without
--
like
the
radio
OF
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 engine
compartment fuse block and the rear compartment
hse
block.
The fuse block is located next
to
the air cleaner
on
the
driver’s side of the engine. Lift the cover
to
gain access.
