1998 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX fuses

firn Signal and Lane Change Indicator
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow
on the instrument
panel will flash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
7 I
A
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrow
flashes faster than normal,
a signal bulb may be burned
out and other drivers won’t see your turn signal. If
a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident.
If the arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and then check
the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
A chime will sound if you leave your turn
signal on for
more than
3/4 mile (1.2 km).
Headlamp High/Low Beam Changer
To change your headlamps
from low
beam to high
beam, or high to low, pull the multifunction lever
all
the way toward you. Then
release it.
When the high beams are on, a light on the instrument
panel also will be on.
Flash-to-Pass Feature
When your headlamps are off, pull the lever toward you
to momentarily switch on the high beams (to signal
that
you are going to pass). When you release the lever, they
will turn
off.

If You Can’t See the HUD Image When the Ignition
Is On
0 Is anything covering the HUD unit?
0 Is the HUD dimmer setting bright enough?
Is the HUD image adjusted to the proper height?
Still no HUD image? Check the fuse in the I/P
Electronics position in the instrument panel fuse
block. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
the Index.
If the HUD Image Is Not Clear
Is the HUD image too bright?
Are the windshield and HUD lens clean?
Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one
designed for
HUD. If you don’t, the HUD image may
look blurred and out
of focus.
Power Drop Feature
Your vehicle is equipped with auxiliary power leads.
These leads can be used to power aftermarket electrical
equipment added
to your vehicle. They are located on
the passenger’s side of the vehicle, below the glove box.
For additional information on accessing these leads and
electrical hookup, please refer
to your service manual.

Electrical System
kdd-On Electrical Equipment
NOTICE:
Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle
unless you check with your dealer
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.
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 in the wiring itself.
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. Spare fuses are located
in the instrument
panel. See “Underhood Electrical Center” in the Index.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the underhood electrical center. 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
system checked right away.
6-62

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, have
it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
Some fuses are in a fuse block located inside of the glove
box behind a
small bin, on the right side. To open, pull on
the plastic strap
and pull the cover out. The fuse block is
inside.
On the back edge of this cover is a fuse puller and
a fuse usage chart. To use the fuse puller, place the wide
end
of the fuse puller over the plastic end of the fuse.
Squeeze the ends over the fuse and pull it out.
To reinstall the bin, position the lower end and turn
the top into position. Press on the sides until
it snaps
into place.
