To check the fuses in this underhood fuse ‘center, turn
the two knobs one-quarter turn counterclockwise and
loosen the metal wing nut on the passenger side of the
cover. Then remove the cover. The inside
of the cover
has a chart that explains the features and controls
governed by each fuse
and relay.
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 damage 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.
There are two
fuse blocks in your vehicle: the driver’s
side and passenger’s side fuse blocks.

Driver’s Side Fuse Block The driver’s side fuse block is to the left of the steering
wheel, under the instrument panel.
Snap
off the cover to reveal the fuses. You’ll find a fuse
puller clipped to the inside
of the cover. Place the wide
end
of the fuse puller over the plastic end of the fuse.
Squeeze
the ends over the fuse and pull it out.
Spare fuseseare located in the slots labeled “Spare” on
the following chart.
When finished, replace the cover by snapping it back up
into place.
