Ad-On Electrical  Equiprnent 
NOTICE: 
Don’t add anything  electrical  to 
your Oldsmobile unless  you check 
with  your  dealer  first. Some  electrical 
equipment  can  damage your vehicle 
and  the  damage  wouldn’t  be 
covered  by your  warranty.  Some 
add-on  electrical  equipment  can 
keep  other  components  from 
working  as they  should. 
Your vehicle  has an air  bag  system. 
Before  attempting  to add  anything 
electrical  to your Oldsmobile,  see 
Servicing Your Air  Bag-Equipped 
Oldsmobile 
in  the Index. 
Fuses & Circuit  Breakers 
The  wiring circuits  in your vehicle  are 
protected from  short circuits 
by a 
:ombination  of fuses  and  circuit 
breakers in  the wiring itself.  This greatly 
reduces  the  chance  of damage 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. 
U 
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.
