Fuse Replacement
The fuse boxes are located under the dashboard on the driver's side and on the right front fender beside the battery. The circuitsprotected by each fuse are listed on the plastic sheet in the box.
If any of your car's lights, accessories, or controls don't work,
check their fuses. If a fuse has blown, the wire inside it win be
burned through.
Checking the fuses: 1 . Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2 . If you find a blown or possibly faulty fuse, use the fuse remover (located inside the fuse box under the dashboard) to pull the
blown fuse out of its clips.
3 . Check all other fuses as well as the one you suspect.
4 . Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If it fits loosely, have your dealer fix it.If you don't have a spare, take a fuse of the same rating (or lower)
out of a circuit you may not need, like the radio or cigarette lighter. Remember to replace the borrowed fuse and the missing spares. FUSE BOX COVER
