Fuses
The auxiliary fuse box is located on
the driver's side near the brake fluid
reservoir. To open it, push the tab on
each side and remove the
lid.
232 Taking Care of the Unexpected
Checking and Replacing Fuses
If something electrical in your car
stops working, the first thing you
should check for is a blown fuse.
Determine from the chart on pages
234 and 235 , or the diagram on the
fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses
control that component. Check those
fuses first, but check
all the fuses
before deciding that a blown fuse is
not the cause. Replace any blown
fuses and check
the component's
operation.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK
(0). Make sure the headlights and
all other accessories are off.
2. Remove the cover from the fuse
box.
3. Check each of the large fuses in
the under-hood fuse box by
looking through the top at the wire
inside. Removing these fuses
requires a Phillips-head screw­
driver.
