Owners Manual
Fuses and
Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
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 engine
compartment fuse block and the rear compartment
fuse block.

Compartment Fuse
Block
The fuse block is located next to the air cleaner on the
driver’s side
of
the engine. Lift the cover to gain access.
