Fuses, Fuse Links and Circuit
Breakers
[SV33025(ALL)07/93]
Fuses, fuse links and circuit breakers protect
your vehicle electrical system from overloading.
If electrical parts in your vehicle are not
working, the system may have been overloaded
and blown a fuse, fuse link or tripped a circuit
breaker. Before you replace or repair any
electrical parts, check the appropriate circuit
protector.
[SV33050(ALL)07/93]
The following charts tell you which circuit
protector protects each electrical part of your
vehicle. If a fuse or fuse link blows, or a circuit
breaker opens a circuit, none of the parts of
your vehicle that use the circuit will work. For
example, if the RADIO fuse is blown, the radio
and remote control mirrors will not work. If the
radio works, but the electric mirrors don't work,
something is wrong with the mirrors.
[SV33100(ALL)06/93]
NOTE: Fuse links should only be repaired by
your dealer.

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.
[SV34000(ALL)08/95]
To find a fuse's amperage rating, check the
number on the fuse or check the color.

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.
