1997 OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE fuse box

To use your air inflator system, attach the appropriate
nozzle adapter,
if required, to the end of the hose that
has the pressure gage. Then attach that end of the hose
to
the object you wish to inflate. Remove the protective
cap covering the outlet. Attach
the other end of the hose
to
the outlet. Press the ON switch. The ON switch will
work even with the ignition off.
If the air inflator system does not turn on, the fuse may
be blown or installed incorrectly. See “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers’’
in the Index or see your retailer for service.
Your air inflator will automatically shut off after about
10 minutes. To reset, press the ON switch again.
Don’t run your air inflator for longer than
30 minutes at
one time. If
you do, you may damage the system. After
30 minutes, wait at least 10 minutes before restarting the
air inflator.
To turn off the inflator, press OFF and detach the hose,
first from the inflated object, then from the outlet.
Replace the protective cap. Place the inflator kit tools
in
the pouch, and store in the glove box.
To replace the cover, line up the tabs at the back of the
cover and
put it in place. Push down the tab to secure
the cover.

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.
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
or use one of the spare fuses in the underhood
fuse and relay center. 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 right
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the
instrument panel fuse block and the underhood fuse and
relay center.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse
block
is to the right of the
glove box. Pull the door
open to access the
instrument panel fuse block.
