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.

There are two fuse centers on your

vehicle. One is in the left side of your

instrument panel.

The other is in the engine compartment.

Open the cover on either of the boxes to

expose

the fuses.

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 correct

size.

If you ever have a problem on the road

and don’t have a spare fuse, you can

borrow one of the correct value. Just pick

some feature of your vehicle that you car

get along without

-

like the radio or

cigarette lighter

-

and use its fuse,

if

it

i

the size you need. Replace it as soon as

you can.

Headlights

The headlight wiring

is

protected by a

circuit breaker. An electrical overload

will cause the lights to go on and off,

or

in

some cases to remain off. If this

happens, have your headlight 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 and not

snow, etc., 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.
