Circuit Breakers
[SV44200(ALL)08/95]
If you need to check a circuit breaker, locate the
fuse panel first. Otherwise, locate the circuit
breaker according to the instructions on the
charts given earlier in this chapter.
*
[SV44400(ALL)10/92]
However, you should know that the circuit
breakers will reset themselves and allow the
electrical parts to work again once the overload
on the circuit is removed. If the circuit breakers
continue to cut off electricity, have your vehicle's
electrical system checked.
*
[SV44450(ALL)02/95]
Diagnostic equipment is needed to check circuit
breakers. Refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
[SV44500(ALL)08/95]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker, grip it with your finger and thumb and
pull it straight out of its socket.
