Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you’ll
want
to use the proper service manual. It tells you
much more about how to service your vehicle than this
manual can.
To order the proper service manual,
see
Service Publications Ordering Information on
page 7-9.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting
to do your own service work, see
Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Vehicle on page
1-54.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See
Part E: Maintenance Record on page 6- 16.
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about
it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. “English” and “metric”
fasteners can be easily confused. If you use the wrong fasteners, parts can later
break or fall off. You could be hurt.
Adding Equipment to the Outside of
Your Vehicle
Things you might add to the outside of your vehicle can
affect the airflow around it. This may cause wind
noise and affect windshield washer performance. Check
with your dealer before adding equipment to the
outside of your vehicle.

Electrical System
Add-on Electrical Equipment
Nofice: Don’t add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless
you check with your dealer first.
Some electrical equipment can damage your vehicle
and the damage wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty. Some add-on electrical equipment can
keep other components from working as they
should.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting
to add anything electrical to your vehicle, see
Servicing Your Air Bag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-54.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the wiring harness. An electrical overload will cause
the lamps to go on and
off, or in some cases to remain
cff. if this hqppns, hawe p1r headlamp system
checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
circuit breaker and a fuse, If the motor overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical
problem, have it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires
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. If a MaxiFuse@ should blow, see your
dealer for service immediately.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the
same amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without
- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
- and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can. You will find a fuse puller
clipped in both
of the fuse blocks. Snap the wide end
of the fuse puller at the side indentations and pull
the fuse out.
The MaxiFuses@ are located in two fuse blocks, one
located in the engine compartment and the other under
the rear seat. If a MaxiFuse@ should blow, have your
vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The engine compartment
fuse block is located near
the front on the
Comparfment Oiewiew on
page 5-14 for more
information on location.
Lift the cover to gain access. Fuse
22 or 23 can be
moved
to the outer position to provide continuous power
to the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter
when the ignition is not on. See your dealer for
additional assistance,
if needed.
Leaving an accessory on for a long period of time can
drain the vehicle’s battery.

Removing the Rear Seat Cushion
To access the battery and rear compartment fuse
panels, the rear seat cushion
must be removed. This
procedure is somewhat difficult. You may wish to have
your dealer do this for you.
Notice: The battery and main fuse blocks are
located under the rear seat cushion. The battery’s
ground terminal and some relay wires are exposed.
To help avoid damage to the battery and wires,
be careful when removing or reinstalling the seat
cushion.
Do not remove covers from covered parts.
Do not store anything under the seat, as objects
could touch exposed wires and cause a short.
To remove the rear seat cushion, do the following:
1. Pull up on the front of the cushion to release the
2. Pull the cushion up and out toward the front of the
front hooks.
vehicle.
To reinstall the rear seat cushion, do the following: A safety belt that
isn’t properly routed through
the seat cushion or
is twisted won’t provide
the protection needed
in a crash. ld the safety
belt hasn’t been routed through the seat
cushion at all,
it won’t be there to work for the
next passenger. The person sitting
in that
position could be badly injured. After
reinstalling the seat cushion, always check to
be sure that the safety belts are properly
routed and are not twisted.
