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.
