Fuses, Fuse Links and Circuit
Breakers
*
[ER00400(B FM)01/96]
Fuses, circuit breakers and fuse links 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 or tripped a circuit breaker.
Before you replace or repair any electrical parts,
check the appropriate fuses or circuit breakers.
*
[ER00450( ALL)01/96]
The following charts tell you which fuses or
circuit breakers protect each electrical part of
your vehicle. If a fuse blows or a circuit breaker
opens a circuit, all the parts of your vehicle that
use that circuit will not work.
[ER00500( M)01/96]
Selected circuits, such as headlamps and
windshield wipers, are protected with circuit
breakers. A circuit breaker is designed to stop
current flow in case of a short-circuit or
overload. It will automatically restore current
flow after a few seconds, but will again interrupt
current if the overload or short-circuit continues.
This on-off cycle will continue as long as the
overload or short-circuit exists.
*
[ER00550( ALL)01/96]
Once you have determined which fuses or circuit
breakers to check, follow the procedures under
Checking and replacing fusesorChecking and
replacing circuit breakerslater in this chapter.
