IN THE EVENT OF A BLOWN FUSE
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e. it
cuts off) mainly due to a fault or improp-
er action on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse. The conductor ele-
ment(A-fig. 49) must be intact; if not,
replace the fuse with one of the same
amp rating (same colour).(B) - Undamaged fuse
(C) - Fuse with damaged filament.
Remove the blown fuse using the pincer
provided (D), in the control box.
fig. 49
A0A0185b
Never replace a fuse
with metal wires or any-
thing else. Always use an
intact fuse of the same colour.
Never replace a fuse
with another with a high-
er amp rating; DANGER
OF FIRE.
If a general fuse (MAXI-
FUSE or MEGA-FUSE) cuts
in, do not attempt any
repair and contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services.
Before replacing a fuse,
make sure the ignition
key has been removed
and that all the other services are
switched off and/or disengaged.
If a fuse blows again,
contact an Alfa Romeo
Authorised Service.
