1995 OLDSMOBILE AURORA lock

Maxifuse/Relay Center
It’s easy to check the fuses in this underhood relay
center. There are two locking arms on either side
of the
base of the cover. Reach down and unsnap each one by
pulling the cover toward you, then pushing
it away
while pulling up. Remove the cover. The inside of the
cover has a chart that explains the features and controls
governed
by each fuse and relay.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the wiring harness. An electrical overload will cause the
lamps
to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If
this happens, have your headlamp system checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
circuit breaker and a fuse in the fuse panel
on the other
side
of the instrument panel. 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, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel 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.
