Adding Coolant
To Check Coolant: When your engine is
cold, check the dipstick on the cap of the
coolant recovery tank. The coolant level
should be at
FULL COLD, or a little
higher. When your engine is warm, the
level on the dipstick should be up to
FULL HOT, or a little higher.
If you have the 5.7L LTl (Code P) engine
and this light comes on,
it means you’re
low on engine coolant.
To Add Coolant to the Recovery Tank:
If you need more coolant, add the proper
mix
at the coolant recovery tank, but
only when your engine
is cool. If the tank
is very low or empty, also add coolant to
the radiator. See “Engine Overheating” in
the Index.

Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
There are
two fuse centers on your
vehicle. One is
in the left side of your
instrument panel.
The other is in the engine compartment.
Open the cover on either of the boxes to
expose the fuses.
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 correct
size.
If you ever have a problem on the road
and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
borrow one
of the correct value. Just 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 size you need. Replace
it as soon as
you can.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will
cause the lights to go on and off, or in
some cases to remain
off. If this happens,
have your headlight wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the
motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.,
the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some
electrical problem and not snow, etc., be
sure to get it fixed.
