Owners Manual

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
the short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. 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. 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 instrument
panel fuse blocks and the engine compartment relay center.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block (Driver’s Side)
The fuse block is located below the steering wheel on
the driver’s side. Using a screwdriver, loosen the two
trim fasteners under the trim panel and pull the trim
panel away from the instrument panel to access.
