Fuses tu~d Circuit Breakers
The other is in the engine CoIfipartment. Open the cover
on either of the boxes to expose the fuses.
me wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
shci'rl
circ&b by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal
links in the wiring itself. This
greatly redtices the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
Thkre are two hse centers on your vehicle. One is in the
left side ok your instrument panel.
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.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare
fuse, you can bortow one. Just pick some feature
of your car that you can get along without-like the
radio or cigarette lighter-ind use ite fuse,
if it is the
size
you need. ReplaGe it as soon as you can.

Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker.
An electrical overload will cause the larnps to
go on and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have
your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and
a fuse. 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 and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers 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 or goes away.
