Headlamp Wiring

The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses, one for each

headlamp, in the fuse block. An electrical overload

will cause the lamps to turn off. If this happens, have

your headlamp wiring checked right away.

Windshield Wiper Fuses

The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal

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 and not snow, etc., be sure to get it ﬁxed.

Power Windows and Other Power

Options

Circuit breakers in the fuse block 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.

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.

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.

There are spare fuses provided in the engine

compartment fuse block. If you ever have a problem on

the road and do not 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.

There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the instrument

panel fuse block and the engine compartment fuse

block.

There is a fuse puller located on the engine

compartment fuse block. It can be used to easily

remove fuses from the fuse block.
