Fuses & 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.
To identify and check fuses, refer to the
fuse panel, which
is behind the glove
box door, and the fuse usage chart later
in this section.
To remove a fuse, grasp it firmly and
pull.
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.
