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.
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
or use one of the spare fuses in the underhood
fuse and relay center. 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 right
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the
instrument panel fuse block and
the underhood fuse and
relay center.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse
block is to the right of the
glove
box. Pull the door
open to access the
instrument panel fuse block.
