Maxifuse@/Relay Center
It’s easy to check the fuses in this underhood relay
center. There are two locking
arms on either side of the
base of the cover. Reach down and unsnap each one by
pulling the cover toward you, then pushing it away
while pulling up. 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 and circuit
breakers. 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
correct amp rating.
1wo spare fuses are located below the fuse puller. You’ll
also find spare fuses in the slots labeled “Spare’’ in the
following charts.
There are three main fuse panels: the instrument panel
fuse block and two (driver’s side and passenger’s side)
rear compartment fuse blocks.

A safety belt that isn’t properly routed through
the seat cushion or is twisted won’t provide the
protection needed in a crash.
If the safety belt
hasn’t been routed through the seat cushion at
all, it won’t be there to work for the next
passenger.
The person sitting in that position
could be badly injured. After reinstalling the seat
cushion, always check to be sure that the safety
belts are properly routed and are not twisted.
1.
2.
3.
Buckle the center passenger position safety belt, and
then route the safety belts through the proper slots in
the seat cushion. Don’t let the safety belt get twisted.
Slide the rear of the cushion up and under the
seatback
so the rear locating guides hook into the
wire loops on the back frame.
With the seat cushion lowered, push rearward and
then press down on the seat cushion until the spring
locks on both ends engage.
4. Check to make sure the safety belts are properly
routed and that
no portion of any safety belt is
trapped under the seat. Also make sure the seat
cushion is secured.
Rear Compartment Fuse Blocks
Once the seat is removed,
you’ll find two
fuse panels
on the driver’s side of the
battery. Each is protected by
a plastic box with four tabs.
Pull up on all four tabs at
the same time to loosen
them and pull off the box.
Of these two panels, the cover on the passenger’s side
fuse panel has an extra plastic cap attachment. You’ll
need
to slide this out of the grooves which hold it there
before removing the rest of the box.
To replace the covers, line the four tabs up and simply
snap them back into place. The extra plastic cap
attachment slides back into place.
