1997 GMC JIMMY headlamp

Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This can cause deadly
CO (carbon monoxide) gas
to get inside.
CO could overcome you and kill
you. You can’t see it or smell it,
so you might not
know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from
around the base of your vehicle, especially any
that is blocking your exhaust pipe. And check
around again from time to time to be sure snow
doesn’t collect there.
Open a window just a little on the side of the
vehicle that’s away from the wind. This will help
keep
CO out.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When
you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly.
This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged.
You will need a well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle. and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.
Then, shut the engine
off and close the window almost
all the way
to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold.
But do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long
as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of the vehicle and
do some hirly vigorous exercises
every half
hour or so until help comes.

Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter. width. offset and
be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.

or wheel nuts. replace them only with new GM original
equipment parts. This way.

Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by an internal circuit
breaker. An electrical overload
will cause the lamps to go
on and
off, or in some cases to remain off. If this happens,
have
your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker
and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc.. the
wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused
by some electrical problem, be sure
to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy.
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit
until the problem is fixed or goes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by
a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links. This greatly reduces the
chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
Look
at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken
or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse
with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse.
you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just pick
some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace
it as soon as you can.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The fuse block is at the
driver's end of the
instrument panel.
Remove the
toller by turning the fastener
counterclockwise. Extra fuses and the fuse extractor are
provided
in the cover. To reinstall the fuse panel cover.
push in and turn the fastener clockwise.
