2003 BUICK CENTURY Owner's Manual

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and in the fuse block wiring itself. This greatly reduces
the chance of ®res 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.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
Some fuses are located in
a fuse block on the
passenger's side of the
vehicle. Pull off the cover
labeled FUSES to
expose the fuses.
