1995 OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE fuses

Glove Bodstorage Compartment
Your vehicle has a storage compartment on top of the
dash and a glove box below it.
To open the storage compartment, push in the latch
release, then
lift the lid.
r
To open the glove box, pinch the latch release.
The fuse panel
is located inside the glove box door. See
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Oldsmobile has a number of theft
deterrent features, we know that nothing we put on it
can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways
you can help.

mrn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
OFF ON RESUME
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is finished, the lever will return,
automatically.
A green arrow on the instrument panel will flash in the
direction
of the turn or lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay on, a signal bulb may be burned out
and other drivers won’t
see your turn signal.
If a bulb
is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t go on at all when
you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and check the
fuse
(see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, a different turn signal flasher is used.
With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will flash
even if
a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check the front
and rear turn signal lamps regularly
to make sure they
are working.

Electronic Level Control (Option)
With this option, the rear of the vehicle automatically
adjusts to changes in load weight. (See “Loading Your
Vehicle” in the Index.)
You may hear the compressor operating when you load
or unload your vehicle, and periodically as the system
self-adjusts. This is normal.
The compressor should operate for brief periods
of time.
If the sound continues for an extended period
of time,
your vehicle needs service.
To keep your battery from
being drained, you may want to pull the
ELC fuse in the
fuse control panel until you can get your vehicle
serviced (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index).
To replace the bin, set the hinge pins (one on each side
of the bin, at the bottom) into the hinge guides (one at
each side
of the console opening, at the base), then close
the bin.
If the hinge pins are placed properly in the
guides, the bin will close easily.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
L
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the
chance of damages 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.
A fuse puller is clipped inside the fuse panel door. Place
the wide end
of the fuse puller over the plastic end of
the fuse. Squeeze the ends over the fuse and pull it out.
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.
