Fuses
[ER00800(R)01/96]
Fuses protect your vehicle's electrical system from overloading.

may have been overloaded and blown a fuse. Before you
replace or repair any electrical parts, check the appropriate
fuses.
[ER00900(R)01/96]
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 that circuit will not work.

[ER01000(R)01/96]
Once you have determined which fuses to check, follow the
procedures underChecking and replacing fuseslater in this
chapter.
