1998 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA Owners Manual

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.
