Fuse Block
The fuse block access
door is on the driver’s
side edge
of the
instrument panel.
Pull
off the cover to access
the fuse block.
You can remove fuses
with a fuse extractor.
The fuse extractor is
mounted to the fuse
block access door.
To remove fuses if you don’t have a fuse extractor, hold the end of the fuse
between your thumb and index finger and pull straight out.
Be sure to use the correct fuse. 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 can get along without-like the radio
or cigarette lighter-and use its fuse, if
it is of the value you need. Replace
it as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Tndex for
more information.
