6-72 Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by fuses, circuit breakers and fusible
thermal links in the wiring itself. 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 correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one. Just pick some feature
of your vehicle that you can get along without
-- like the
radio or air conditioner
-- and use its fuse, if it is of the
value you need. Replace it as soon as you can.
Before replacing a fuse, turn every electrical switch off.Instrument Panel Fuse BlockThe instrument panel fuse block is located underneath
the instrument panel on the driver's side of the vehicle.

turning it towards LOCK.
