A number of fusible links are used on these vehi-

There is a collection of fusible links located near the
battery. These are referred to as the main fuse links. A
second group of links are located in the box with the
dedicated fuses. If replacement of a fuse link is re-

Do not just replace the fosible link to correct
a problem! RESETTlNGAND/OR REPLACEMENT REPLACEMENT
When replacing all fusible links, they are to be re-
placed with the same type of prefabricated link avail-
able from your vehicle manufacturer. Circuit breakers are located inside the fuse panel.
They are automatically reset when the problem cor-
rects itself, is repaired, or the circuit cools down to
allow operation again. The turn signal and hazard flasher unit is located
in the interior fuse panel located under the driver’s
left side knee protector. They are replaced by simply
pulling them straight out. Note that the prongs are
arranged in such a way that the flasher must be prop-
erly oriented before attempting to install it. Turn the
flasher until the orientation of the prongs is correct
and simply push it firmly in until the prongs are fully
engaged.
