Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem, be sure to get it xed.
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 332
for 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.

Maintenance Footnotes
(a)Visually inspect brake lines and hoses for
proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chang,
etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Inspect drum brake
linings/shoes for wear or cracks. Inspect other
brake parts, including drums, wheel cylinders,
calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking
brake adjustment.
(b)Visually inspect front and rear suspension
and steering system for damaged, loose, or
missing parts or signs of wear. Inspect power
steering lines and hoses for proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chang, etc. Visually check
constant velocity joints, rubber boots, and axle
seals for leaks.
(c)Visually inspect hoses and have them replaced
if they are cracked, swollen, or deteriorated.
Inspect all pipes, ttings, and clamps; replace
with genuine parts as needed. To help ensure
proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling
system and pressure cap and cleaning the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning condenser is
recommended at least once a year.(d)Inspect wiper blades for wear, cracking,
or contamination. Clean the windshield and wiper
blades, if contaminated. Replace wiper blades
that are worn or damaged. See Windshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on page 375and
Windshield and Wiper Blades on page 427for
more information.
(e)Make sure the safety belt reminder light and
all your belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors, and
anchorages are working properly. Look for any
other loose or damaged safety belt system parts.
If you see anything that might keep a safety
belt system from doing its job, have it repaired.
Have any torn or frayed safety belts replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken airbag
coverings, and have them repaired or replaced.
The airbag system does not need regular
maintenance.
(f)Lubricate all key lock cylinders, body door
and fuel door hinges, latches and locks (including
glove box and console doors), hood latch
assembly, secondary latch, pivots, spring anchor,
release pawl, and any moving seat hardware.

Automatic Transmission Shift Lock
Control System Check
{CAUTION:
When you are doing this inspection, the
vehicle could move suddenly. If the vehicle
moves, you or others could be injured.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough
room around the vehicle. It should be parked
on a level surface.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake. SeeParking
Brake on page 133.
Be ready to apply the regular brake
immediately if the vehicle begins to move.3. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON, but
do not start the engine. Without applying the
regular brake, try to move the shift lever out of
PARK (P) with normal effort. If the shift lever
moves out of PARK (P), contact your dealer/
retailer for service.Ignition Transmission Lock Check
While parked, and with the parking brake set,
try to turn the ignition to LOCK in each shift lever
position.
With an automatic transmission, the ignition
should turn to LOCK only when the shift
lever is in PARK (P). The ignition key should
come out only in LOCK.
With a manual transmission, the ignition key
should come out only in LOCK.
Contact your dealer/retailer if service is required.
