If the new fuse immediately blows out,
there is a problem with the electrical
system. Have your Toyota dealer cor-
rect it as soon as possible.

amperage rating, or any other ob-
ject, in place of a fuse. This may
cause extensive damage and
possibly a fire.
Adding washer fluid
If any washer does not work, the
washer tank may be empty. Add
washer fluid.
You may use plain water as washer
