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.

Headlamp Bulb
*
[SV45900(ALL)01/95]
The headlamps on your vehicle use replaceable
bulbs. When the lamp burns out, simply replace
the bulb, rather than the whole lamp.
*
[SV46000(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Handle a halogen headlamp bulb carefully
and keep out of children's reach. Grasp
the bulb only by its plastic base and do
not touch the glass. The oil from your
hand could cause the bulb to break the
next time the headlamps are operated.
*
[SV46050(ALL)12/91]
NOTE: If the bulb is accidently touched, it
should be cleaned with rubbing
alcohol before being used.
*
[SV46100(ALL)01/95]
Do not remove the burned-out bulb unless you
can immediately replace it with a new one. If a
bulb is removed for an extended period of time,
contaminants may enter the headlamp housing
and affect its performance.
