1993 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE fuses

Servicing Bur Pontiac with the
Air Bag System
Please tell or remind anyone who works
on your Pontiac that it has the air bag
system. There are parts of the air bag
system in several places around your
vehicle. You don’t want the system to
inflate while someone is working on
your vehicle. The air bag system does
not need regular maintenance. Your
Pontiac dealer and the
1993 Bonneville
Service Manual have information about
the air bag system, including repair or
disposal.
For up to two minutes after
L b the ignition key is turned off
and the battery disconnected, an
air bag can still inflate during
improper service. You can be
injured if you are close to
an air
bag when it inflates. Be sure to
follow the proper service
procedures. When electrical
work is done under
the
hood or inside your vehicle, the ignition
should be in
LOCK, if possible.
Avoid wires wrapped with yellow
tape,
or yellow connectors. They are probably
part of the air bag system.
If your vehicle has a driver’s air bag and
a right-front passenger’s air bag, both
bags must be disconnected
if the
ignition has to be on for electrical work
Dr if the steering column is to be
disassembled.
First, disconnect
the driver’s air bag like
this:
. Turn off the ignition.
Remove the SIR (air bag) fuse (see the
Index under Fuses & Circuit Breakers).
Disconnect the yellow connector at
the base of the steering column.

The ignition key must be clean and dry
before it’s inserted
in the ignition or the
engine may not
start.
If the engine does not start and the
SECURITY light is on, the key may be
dirty or wet.
Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security light
may remain on during this time.
If the
starter still won’t work, and the key
appears
to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try the other ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuse (see the
Index under
Fuses & Circuit Breakers). If the starter
won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle
does
start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Pontiac dealer or
a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key
IITM
If you accidentally use a key that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work and the
SECURITY
light will flash. But you don’t have to
wait three minutes before trying one of
the other ignition keys.
See your Pontiac
dealer or a locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key
IITM to have a new key
made.
If you’re ever driving and the
SECURITY light comes on and
remains on, you will be able to restart
your engine if you
turn it off. Your
PASS-Key
II? system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced
by your Pontiae dealer. Your vehicle is
not protected by the PASS-Key
IFM
system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key IFM
ignition key, see your Pontiac dealer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-
Key IFM to have a new key made.
Theft-Deterrent System (omoN)
If your Pontiac has this option, it has a
theft-deterrent alarm system. With this
system, the
SECURITY light will flash
when you open the door (if your ignition
is
off).
This light reminds you to arm the theft-
deterrent system when leaving your
vehicle.
To Arm the System:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door
lock switch or Keyless Entry
transmitter. The
SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY
light will go off after about 30 seconds
and the system will then be armed.

Features & Controls
Turn Signal and Lane Change
Indicator
The turn signal has two upward (for
Right) and two downward (for Left)
positions. These positions allow you to
signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the
way up or down. When the turn is
finished, the lever will return
automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel
will flash in the direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or
lower the lever until the green arrow
starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever
will return by itself when you release
it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if
the arrows don’t flash but just stay
on, a
signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If you
have the Driver Information Center, it
will tell you if you have a burned out
bulb. See the
Index under Driver
Information
Center.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help
avoid an accident.
If the green arrows
don’t go on at all when you signal a
turn, check the fuse (see the
Index under
Fuses & Circuit Breakers) and for
burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with
added wiring for the trailer lights, a
different
turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal
indicator will flash even if a
turn signal
bulb is burned out. Check the front and
rear turn signal lights regularly to make
sure they are working.

reduces the sharpness or clarity
of the
HUD image.

clean cloth. Wipe the HUD lens gently,
then
dry it. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the lens, because the cleaner
fluid could leak inside the unit
if you do.
If You Can’t See the HUD Image
When the Ignition
is On:
Is anything covering the HUD unit?
Is the HUD dimmer control far
Is the HUD image adjusted to the
Still no HUD image? Check the fuse
enough
up?
proper
height?
in the
fuse panel. See the Index under
Fuses & Circuit Breakers.
Ifthe HUD Image is Not Clear:
It could be too bright. Slide the HUD
dimmer control further downward.
You may need to clean the windshield
and HUD lens.
Your windshield is part
of the HUD
system.
If you ever have to have a new
windshield, be sure to get one designed
for HUD.
If you don’t, the HUD image
may
look blurred and out of focus.

Service & Appearance Care
Fuses & Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination
of fuses and circuit
breakers.
The main fuse panel is located to the
left
of the steering wheel, under the
instrument panel. Pinch the release
levers to lower the fuse panel for ease
of
viewing, then pull the fuse panel toward
you to lock it down. Snap
off the
cover to reveal the fuses.
You’ll find a fuse puller clipped
to the
inside
of the cover. Place the wide end
of the fuse puller over the plastic end of
the fuse. Squeeze the ends over the fuse
and pull it out.
Spare fuses are located in the slots
labeled “Spare” on the following chart. 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.
When finished, replace the cover and
pinch the release levers again to unlock
the panel. Press
it back up into place.
