Fuses and 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. 
There are two fuse centers  on  your 
vehicle.  One is in  the  left side  of your 
instrument  panel.  The other 
is  in  the engine compartment. 
Open  the  cover  on  either of  the  boxes  to 
expose 
the fuses. 
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. 
If  you  ever have  a problem  on  the  road 
and  don’t  have  a spare fuse,  you  can 
borrow  one of  the  correct  value. Just pick 
some feature  of  your  vehicle  that  you  car 
get  along  without 
- like  the  radio or 
cigarette  lighter 
- and use its fuse, if it i 
the  size  you  need.  Replace  it  as  soon  as 
you  can. 
Headlights 
The  headlight  wiring is protected  by a 
circuit  breaker.  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  wiring 
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  and  not 
snow,  etc., be  sure  to get it fixed. 
Power  Windows  and  Other  Power 
Options 
Circuit  breakers  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 or goes  away.
