Fuse Inspection
•
Remove the fuse (see Fuse Removal).
•
Inspect the fuse element.
If it is down out, replace the fuse. Before replacing a
blown fuse, always check the amperage in the affected
circuit. If the amperage is equal to or greater than the
fuse rating, check the wiring and related components for
a short circuit.

NOTE
○
If the engine is operated under the condition which the
battery needs refreshing charge, a m ain fuse may blow
out due to a mass current flows to the battery.
CAUTION
Do not use a fuse rated for other amperage and volt-
age specified in the wiring diagram. Installation of
a fuse with a higher rating may cause damage to
wiring and components, and a fuse of a lower rat-
ing will soon blow again.
