switch may have been triggered. The shut-off
switch is a device that stops the fuel pump
when your vehicle has been involved in a
substantial jolt.

Fuses
[ER03005(ALL)01/96]
Fuses protect your vehicle's electrical system
from overloading. If electrical parts in your
vehicle are not working, the system may have
been overloaded and blown a fuse. Before you
replace or repair any electrical parts, check the
appropriate circuit protectors.
[ER03010(ALL)04/96]
The following charts tell you which fuses protect
each electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse
blows, all the parts of your vehicle that use the
circuit will not work.
*
[ER03015(ALL)01/96]
Once you have determined which fuses to check,
follow the procedures underChecking and
replacing fuseslater in this chapter.
[ER03020(ALL)04/96]
Your vehicle has a main fuse block under the
hood and a regular fuse box mounted in the
instrument panel behind a cover.

4. Look through the transparent side of the
fuse to see if the metal wire inside is
separated. If it is, replace the fuse with one
of the same amperage only. You can use the
amp rating number on the fuse as well as
the color to identify the correct replacement.
*
[ER03150(ALL)01/96]
WARNING
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.
[ER03155(ALL)01/96]
5. Reinstall the fuse puller on the inside of the
fuse panel cover.
[ER03160(ALL)01/96]
6. Install the fuse panel cover.
*
[ER03165(ALL)04/96]
Even after you replace a fuse, it may continue to
blow if you do not find what caused the
overload. If the fuse continues to blow, have
your electrical system checked.
