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,
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other power
accessories. When the current load
is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens
and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line fuse
in the battery feed wire. This fuse is near the junction
block. See “Trailer
Wiring Harness” in the Index for more information.

The fuse block is in
the instrument panel on the driver’s side.
You can remove fuses with a fuse extractor, if you have one. To remove
fuses
if you don’t have one, hold the end of the fuse between your thumb
and index finger and pull straight out.
Be sure to use the correct fuse.
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 of the value you need. Replace it
as
soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index for more
information.
