mended  for most  winter  driving.

from  the heater  lower outlet  and 
the  defroster  duct and upper  out
lets  to provide  comfort  and keep

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER: 
The head lamp circuit s are protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch. 
An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lamps to go on and off, or 
in some cases to remain off. If this condition develops, have your wiring circuits checked immediately. 
Fuses, located in the Junction Block beneath the dash on the driver's side are:

An Air Conditioning high blower speed fuse, 30 amp. is located in an 
In-line fuse holder running from junction block to Air Conditioning relay. 
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than those recommended above. 
Fusible Links are incorporated into the wiring system. These are wires of such a gauge that they will fuse (or melt) before damage occurs to an entire 
wiring harness in the event of an electrical overload. See your Chevrolet Dealer if fusible link replacement becomes necessary.
