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 res
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 you ever have a problem on the road and do not have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just 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.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The engine compartment fuse block is located on the
driver’s side of the engine compartment. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on page 5-12for more
information on location.
To remove the cover, push in on the tab on the end of
the cover and lift. To reinstall the cover, line up the
tab and push down on the cover until the tab clicks
into place.
