Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your
Geo,
see “Servicing Your
Air Bag-Equipped Geo” in the Index.
Fuses
and
Circuit
Breakers
The
wiring
circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits
by
fuses, circuit breakers and thermal links
in
the
wiring itself. 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
correct size.
If
you
ever have a problem
on
the road and don’t have a
spare fuse,
you
can borrow one. 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
size you need. Replace it as soon as you can.
Before replacing
a
fuse, turn every vehicle electrical
switch
off.
There
are
two
fuse
blocks
in
your
vehicle:
the
instrument panel fuse block and the
engine
compartment
fuse
block.
Instrument Panel
Fuse
Block
This fuse box is under the left side
of
the instrument
panel.
The
fuses
here protect each separate circuit
including headlamps.
If
you have electrical failure,
check here first.
