Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car 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.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the
instrument panel fuse block and the engine compartment
fuse block.
Instrument Panel
Fuse
Block
The main fuse panel is located on the
left
side of the
instrument panel. To access the fuses, open the fuse
panel
door.
