Electrical System
Add-on Electrical Equipment
I NOTICE:
~ ~~~~~~
Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle
unless you check with your retailer first. Some
electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as
they should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your vehicle. see “Servicing
Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle”
in the Index.
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
mtil 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 and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the f~~se. 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 cover by turning the fastener to the left.
Extra fuses and
the fuse extractor are provided in the
cover.
To reinstall the fuse panel cover, push in and turn
the fastener to the right.
