If the headlights or other electrical 
components don’t work and the fuses in 
the cabin are OK, inspect the fuse block 
under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it must 
be replaced. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the ignition switch and all 
other switches.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.
3. If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new 
one of the same rating.
NOTE
To replace the MAIN fuse, contact an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer (page 8-40).
