Circuit Breakers
[SV34425(ALL)08/95]
Circuit breakers open when a circuit overload
exceeds their rated current (amperage). The
manual reset-type used for the blower motor can
be reset by pushing the red button located on
top of the circuit breaker. If the overload which
caused the circuit breaker to open is still present
in the circuit, then the circuit breaker will open
again and the red button will pop out. The
overload must be removed from the circuit
before proceeding.
[SV34500(ALL)02/93]
The non-cycling type used for power seats,
power windows, and power door locks will stay
open once tripped until the overload is removed.
