CHECKING DRIVE BELTS
Drive belts should be checked peri- odically for proper tension and ad- justed if necessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for cracks,wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if neces- sary. Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference between the belts and other parts ofthe engine. After a belt is replaced, the new belt should be adjusted again after two or three weeks to eliminateslack resulting from initial stretching after use. G140D01L

CHECKING AND REPLACING FUSES Replacing a Fusible Link
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits from the battery are ever over- loaded, thus preventing damage tothe entire wiring harness. (This could be caused by a short in the system drawing too much current.) If thisever happens, have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause, repair the sys- tem and replace the fusible link. Thefusible links are located in a under hood junction box for easy inspec- tion. G200A01L

When replacing a fusible link, never use anything but a new fusiblelink with the same or lower amper- age rating. Never use a piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.This could result in serious dam- age and create a fire hazard.

Burned out
CAUTION:
A burned-out fuse indicates that
there is a problem in the electrical circuit. If you replace a fuse and it blows as soon as the accessory is turned on, the problem is seriousand should be referred to a Hyundai dealer for diagnosis and repair. Never replace a fuse withanything except a fuse with the same or a lower amperage rating. A higher capacity fuse could causedamage and create a fire hazard.
NOTE: See page 6-34 for the junction box
descriptions.

strument panel junction box you will find a list showing the circuits pro- tected by each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other
electrical accessories stop working, ablown fuse could be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse hasburned through. If you suspect a blown fuse, follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the instrument panel junction box and examine each fuse. Re- move each fuse by pulling it toward you (a small "fuse puller" tool iscontained in the fuse box to sim- plify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you find one that appears to have burned out.
HXGS416
4. Replace the blown fuse by press- ing a new fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuseclip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai dealer. If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be able toborrow a fuse of the same or lower rating from an accessory you can temporarily get along without (theradio or cigarette lighter, for ex- ample). Always remember to re- place the borrowed fuse.
