damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 (or 5) fuse panels,
one located in the driver䳓s side panel
bolster, the others in the engine
compartment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle䳓s lights, acces

sories, or controls do not work,
check the appropriate circuit fuse. If
a fuse has blown, the element inside

Before replacing a blown fuse, dis

connect the negative battery cable.
Always replace a blown fuse with
one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this

Avoid using the system involved and
immediately consult a professional

Three kinds of fuses are used: blade
type for lower amperage rating,
