2003 PONTIAC BONNEVILLE fuses

Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the SECURITY light to go out.
4. Then, reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set
off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-92.
If the alarm does not sound, or the exterior lamps do
not flash, see your dealer.
Content Theft-Deterrent
If your vehicle has this option, it has a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
A light located in your Twilight Sentinel@ cluster, above
the fog lamp button, will begin to flash
30 seconds
after the vehicle ignition is turned
off to let you know the
system has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch. Once armed,
the alarm will go
off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle without using the remote keyless entry
transmitter or a key, breaks a window, tries to damage
the vehicle or turns the ignition to
ON. If any of these do
occur, the horn will sound and the parking lamps will
flash for up to two minutes.

PASS-Key@ 111 Operation
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key@
Ill
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key@

passive theft-deterrent
system.
This means you don’t have
to do anything different to
arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert
or remove the key from the ignition.
When the PASS-Key@
Ill system senses that someone
IS using tne wrong key, ii snuis civwrl iile veilide’s
starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will stop being delivered to the
engine. Anyone
using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number
of electrical
key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle,
if the engine does not
start and the SECURITY light comes on, the key
may have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition
off
and try again.
If the engine
still does not start, and the key appears to
be undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse. See
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-92. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs
service.
ii your vehicle does star?, the first key ~ay be
faulty. See your dealer who can service the
PASS-Key@
Ill to have a new key made.
It is possible for the PASS-Key@ Ill decoder to learn the
transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up
to
10 keys may be programmed for the vehicle.

until the arrow starts to flash. Hold
it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
If the arrows flash very fast as you signal a turn or a
lane change, a signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accidmt. See &Ab ,%?pfaxment s,~ page 5-56 !? the
arrows don’t go on at all when you signal a turn, check
the fuse. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-92.

If you can’t see the HUD image when the ignition is on,
check to see
if:
0 The HUD unit is covered,
0 the HUD INTENSITY knob is adjusted correctly,
0 the HUD image is adjusted to the proper height, or
a fuse in the fuse panel may have blown. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-92.
If the HUD image is not clear, it could be too bright.
Move the HUD INTENSITY knob counterclockwise. You
may need to clean the windshield and HUD lens.
Your windshield is part of the HUD system. If you ever
have to have a new windshield, be sure to get one
designed for HUD.
If you don’t, the HUD image may look
blurred and out of focus.
Accessory Power Outlets
If your vehicle has a front console, the accessory power
outlet
(1 2-volt ) is located at the rear of the front
console.
If your vehicle has a floor console, the outlet is
located at the rear of the floor console. To
use the outlet, remove the protective cap which
covers it. When not using it, always cover the outlet with
the protective cap.
The accessory power outlet will only operate when the
ignition key
is in ON and for 10 minutes after turning
the ignition OFF. If you would like the accessory power
outlet to operate regardless of ignition position, and
for extended periods of time, see “Engine Compartment
Fuse
Block” under Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 5-92 or see your dealer for more information.
Nofice: When using an accessory power outlet,
maximum electrical load must not exceed
15 amps.
Always turn
off any electrical equipment when
not in use. Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain your battery.
Certain electrical accessories may not be compatible
with the accessory power outlet and could result
in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a
problem, see your dealer for additional information
on accessory power outlets.

Notice: Adding some electrical equipment to your
vehicle can damage
it or keep other things from
working as they should. This wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty. Check with your dealer before adding electrical equipment, and never use anything
that exceeds the amperage rating.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to follow the
proper installation instructions included with the
equipment.
Notice: Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only.
Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.

The cigarette lighter is located next to the storage tray.
To use a lighter, just push the center in all the way
and let
it go. When it is ready, the center will pop back
out by itself. Pull out the entire unit to use it.
Notice: Don’t hold a cigarette lighter in with your
hand while
it is heating. If you do, it won’t be able to
back away from the heating element when it’s
ready. That can make
it overheat, damaging the
lighter and the heating element.
The cigarette lighter will only operate when the ignition
key is in
ON and for 10 minutes after turning the
ignition

Electrical System
Add-on Electrical Equipment
Notice: 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 1-55.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by an internal circuit
breaker. An electrical overload will cause the lamps
to go on and
off , or in some cases to remain off. If this
happens, have your neaaiamp system cneckea
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 rear fuse block 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
or goes away.
5-91

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 damage
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.
The MaxiFuses are located in
two fuse blocks, one in
the engine compartment and the other under the
rear seat. If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your vehicle
serviced by your dealer immediately.
Removing Fuses
You will find a fuse puller attached in both of the fuse
blocks. Snap the wide end of the fuse puller on
to
the fuse, at the side indentations holding the puller and
pull the fuse
out.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The engine compartment
fuse block is located in the
front
of the engine
compartment on the
passenger’s side. Lift the
cover
to gain access.
Fuse
22 or 23 can be moved to the outer position to
enable the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter
when the ignition is not on. See your dealer for
additional assistance,
if needed.
