ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them in your
vehicle for emergencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with the
electrical system. Have your Lexus dealer correct it as soon as
possible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any other
object, in place of a fuse. This may cause extensive damage
and possibly a fire.

If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and
the blade type fuses are O.K., check the cartridge type fuses. If
any of the cartridge type fuses are blown, they must be replaced.
If there is an overload in the circuits from the battery, the fuses are
designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is damaged.
NOTICE
Before replacing the fuses, have the cause of electrical overload
determined and repaired by your Lexus dealer.
