Replacing a fuse
WARNING: Use replacement fuses of
the same rating and type or fuses of
matching specification. Incorrect fuse
ratings can overload a system and cause a
fire or malfunction. Blown fuses should be
replaced and no attempt should be made
to repair a blown fuse. ▲
Fuses protect the vehicle’s electrical
systems from damage. The failure of any
fuse will render the equipment it protects
inoperative.
1. Before removing a fuse, turn off all
electrical equipment and remove the
key.
2. Remove the fuse box access panel on
the passenger side of the dashboard.
Using a screwdriver (supplied in the
toolkit) rotate the fastener 90°
counterclockwise and then release the
panel from the dashboard.
3. Consult the fuse specification chart to
determine which fuse is protecting the
non-functioning electrical system.
Note: A label is also affixed to the
inside of the access panel.
4. Remove the appropriate fuse and
replace with a fuse of the same
amperage as the original. If in doubt,
check the fuse specification chart on
the following pages.
5. Re-install the access panel by aligning
the hinges at the bottom of the panel
with the slots on the surrounding
dashboard area. Secure the panel by
rotating the fastener 90° clockwise.
If a replacement fuse fails to solve an
electrical failure, or the replacement fuse
fails prematurely, the problem should be
referred to a qualified technician.
