Electrical System
Add-on Electrical Equipment
I
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Oldsmobile
unless you check with your retailer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working
as
they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your Oldsmobile, see
“Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Oldsmobile”
in
the index.
Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by an internal circuit
breaker.
An
electrical overload
will
cause
the
lamps
to
go on and off,
or
in
some cases
to
remain off.
If
this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by
a
circuit
breaker
and
a fuse.
If
the motor overheats due
to
heavy
snow, etc., the wiper
will
stop until the motor
cools.
If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem, be
sure
to
get
it
fixed.
Power
Windows
and
Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load
is
too
heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit
until
the problem is fixed or goes away.
