Fuses
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls don't
work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted.
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using
that system and consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
qFuse Replacement
Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's left
side
If the electrical system doesn't work, first
inspect fuses on the vehicle's left side.
1. Turn off the ignition switch and other
switches.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse puller provided on the inside of the
engine compartment fuse block cover.

5. Push in a new fuse of the same
amperage rating, and make sure it fits
tightly. If it doesn't, have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer install it.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the MIRROR or CIGAR circuit.
WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.
