NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your Cadillac unless you ch\

with your.dealer first. Some .electrical equipment can damage
your vehicle and the damage wouldn’t .be covered by your

FUSES AND,CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination
of Mini Fuses, Circuit Breakers, and Maxi Fuses. This
greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
If you have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow” one of the same value. Select a feature that you can get along
without that is the same value you need --like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse. Be.sure to use a fuse with the same amperage
rating number on it
(ie. lOA, 20A, etc.) Replace it as soon as you can.
