Headlamp Wiring
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 system checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
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, be sure to have it fixed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Accessories
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel 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.
Maxifuse@/Relay Center
To check the fuses
in
this underhood fuse center,
turn the two knobs one-quarter turn to the left
(counterclockwise) and loosen the metal wing nut on
the passenger side of the cover. Then remove the cover.
The inside
of
the cover has a chart that explains the
features and controls governed by each fuse and relay.
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. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage 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 some 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 driver’s
side and passenger’s side fuse blocks.
