2001 GMC SIERRA relay

4-81 Auxiliary Battery (If Equipped)
The auxiliary battery provision can be used to supply
electrical power to additional equipment that you may
choose to add, such as a slide
-in camper.
If your vehicle has this
provision, this relay will be
located on the passenger's
side of the vehicle, next to
the auxiliary battery.
When using this provision, connection should only be
made to the upper stud (A) of the relay. Do not make
connections to the lower stud (B) of the relay.
The auxiliary battery circuit is protected by a megafuse
located behind the auxiliary battery.
Be sure to follow the proper installation instructions that
are included with any electrical equipment that you install.
NOTICE:
When using the auxiliary battery provision, the
electrical load must not exceed 30 amps. Always
turn off any electrical equipment when not in use.
Leaving electrical equipment on for extended
periods will drain your battery.
Power Winches
If you wish to use a power winch on your vehicle, only
use it when your vehicle is stationary or anchored.
NOTICE:
Using a power winch with the transmission in
gear may damage the transmission. When
operating a power winch, always leave the
transmission in NEUTRAL (N).
Use the regular brakes, set the parking brake, or block
the wheels to keep your vehicle from rolling.

Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The fuse block access door
is on the driver's side edge
of the instrument panel.
Pull off the cover to access
the fuse block.
You can remove fuses with a fuse extractor which is
mounted to the fuse block access door. To remove fuses
if you don't have a fuse extractor, hold the end of the
fuse between your thumb and index finger and pull
straight out.
You may have spare fuses located behind the fuse block
access door. These can be used to replace a bad fuse.
However, make sure it is of the correct amperage.
