Fuses & Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers.
The main fuse panel is located on the left side of the
instrument panel.
To access the fuses, open the fuse
panel door.
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.
I NOTICE:
I
Never install a higher rated fuse. Damage to your
vehicle wiring may result with an incorrect fuse.
