Fuses
and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible 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 identical size
and rating.
If
you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare- fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just pick a feature
of
your vehicle that you
can get along without
--
like the radio or cigarette
lighter
--
and use its fuse,
if
it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can. Also, there are spare fuses
in the left side instrument panel fuse block.
There are three fuse blocks in your vehicle: two
instmment panel fuse blocks and the engine
compartment fuse block.

blocks are located at each
end of the instrument panel.
