I Fuses and Circuit
Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car are
protected from short circuits
by fuses,
circuit breakers
or a thermal link in the
wiring itself. This greatly reduces
the
chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
The main fuse
box in your engine
compartment
on the right side. It
protects all electrical loads. For
access to the main fuses, pull off
cover.
A spare fuse is also inside the
fuse box. Another fuse
box is under
the left side
of the instrument panel. The fuses here
protect each separate circuit including
headlights.
If you have electrical failure,
check here first.

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. Just pick some feature of
your car 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.
Before replacing a fuse turn every
vehicle electrical switch off.
