keep other components from
working as they should.

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.

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.
