1998 CADILLAC DEVILLE brakes

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is
powered by a MaxiFuse?
An electrical overload will
cause the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to
remain
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring
checked right away.
MaxiFuse
is a registered trademark of Little Fuse ,
Incorporated.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MaxiFuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the
wipers will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload,
is caused by some electrical problem, be sure to have
it fmed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load
is too heavy,
the cifcuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem
is fixed or goes away.
MaxiFusesLRelay Center
The MaxiFuses and relays are located next to the engine
compartment fuse b1oc.k on the driver’s side
of the
engine.
To access the compartment fuse block, remove
the shroud cover.
If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your
vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. 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. 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 engine
compartment fuse block and the rear compartment
fuse block.
