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.
