Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses,
circuit breakers and fusible thermal links.
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 don’t
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.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block access door
is located on the driver’s side edge of the
instrument panel.
