/njector 3365 Fuse
(3800 V6 ENGINE ONLY)
This 20-amp fuse is located underhood,
on a bracket just behind the passenger
side headlight.
It is mounted on the face
of the bracket in the position closest to
the passenger side of the vehicle. The
fuse services the injectors, fuel pump,
oil pressure sender and fuel pump
switch.
To access the fuse, pry back the latch
with a screwdriver,
then pull down on
the base of the unit. If you need to
replace the fuse, be sure to use a
20-amp fuse.
Push the base of the unit
firmly up into
the cover until
the latch snaps into the
locked position.
Head/ight Wiring
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker in the light switch. 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 system 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, have it fixed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers in the circuit
breakerhelay 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.

How This Part is Organized
The remainder of this part is divided into five sections:
Section
A: Scheduled Maintenance Services shows what to
have done and how often. Some of these services can be
complex,
so unless you are technically qualified and have
the necessary equipment,
you should let your dealer’s
service department or another qualified service center do
these jobs.
I
A
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle can be
dangerous. In trying to do some jobs, you can bc
seriously injured.
Do your own maintenance work
only if you have the required know-how and the proper
tools and equipment for the job. If you have any doubt,
If you are skilled enough to do some work on your vehicle,
you will probably want to get the service information GM
publishes. You will find a list
of publications and how to get
them in this manual. See the
Index under Service
Publications.
Section B: Owner Checks & Services tells you what should
be checked whenever
you stop for fuel. It also explains what
you can easily do to help keep your vehicle in good
condition.
Section C: Periodic Maintenance Inspections explains
important inspections that your Oldsmobile dealer’s service
department or another qualified service center should
perform.
Section
D: Recommended Fluids & Lubricants lists some
products GM recommends to help keep your vehicle
properly maintained. These products, or their equivalents,
should be used whether you do the work yourself or have it
done.
Section
E: Maintenance Record provides a place for you to
record the maintenance performed
on your vehicle.
Whenever any maintenance
is performed, be sure to write it
down
in this section. This will help you determine when
your next maintenance should be done. In addition, it is a
good idea to keep your maintenance receipts. They may be
needed to qualify your vehicle for warranty repairs.
