amperage rating (see previous chart).
*
[SV43700( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that has
the specified amperage rating. Using a
fuse with a higher amperage rating can
cause severe wire damage and could start
a fire.

[SV43800( ALL)06/95]
5. Put the fuse panel cover back on.
*
[SV44000( ALL)05/93]
Even after you replace a fuse, it will continue to
blow if you do not find what caused the
overload. If the fuse continues to blow, have
your electrical system checked.

Circuit Breakers
*
[SV44200(BEF )06/95]
If you need to check a circuit breaker on the
fuse panel, seeChecking and replacing fusesto
find out how to locate the fuse panel. Otherwise,
locate the circuit breaker according to the
instructions on the charts given earlier in this
chapter.
*
[SV44300( ALL)02/95]
Since you need diagnostic equipment to check
whether a circuit breaker works and such
equipment comes with instructions, we do not
discuss how to check circuit breakers.
*
[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.
*
[SV44500( ALL)06/95]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker mounted in the fuse panel, grip it with
your finger and thumb and pull it straight out
of its socket.
