2007 CHEVROLET COLORADO fuses

If a locked door is not opened using the RKE
transmitter, or by OnStar®, the pre-alarm will
go off. If the engine is not started or unlock not
pressed within 10 seconds, the front turn
signal lamps will ash for two minutes, and the
horn will sound for two minutes, then will turn off
to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not
activate if you lock the doors with a key, the
manual door lock, or power door lock switch.
The system can only be activated using the
RKE transmitter, or by OnStar
®. SeeOnStar®
System on page 149for additional information.
You should also remember that you can start your
vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarm
has been set off.
Here is how to avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
If you do not want to activate the
theft-deterrent system, the vehicle should be
locked with the door key after the doors
are closed.
Always unlock a door with the RKE transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will set off
the alarm.If you set off the alarm by accident, you can turn
off the alarm by pressing unlock on the RKE
transmitter. The alarm will not stop if you try to
unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, activate the system
by locking the doors with the RKE transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual door lock and
open the door. This should set off the alarm.
3. To turn the alarm off, press the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter or start the engine.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but
the lights ash, check to see if the horn works.
The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 433.
If the alarm does not sound or the front turn signal
lamps do not ash, see your dealer/retailer for
service.

Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up
or down. When the turn is nished, the lever will
automatically return to the off position.
To signal a lane change, raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash. Hold it there until
the change is completed. The lever will return by
itself when released.
An arrow on the
instrument panel
cluster will ash in
the direction of the
turn or lane change.As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the
arrows ash more quickly than normal, a signal
bulb may be burned out and other drivers will
not see your vehicle’s turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when
signaling a turn, check for a burned-out bulb or a
blown fuse. For bulb replacement, seeTaillamps,
Turn Signal, Stoplamps and Back-up Lamps
on page 373. For a blown fuse or circuit breaker,
seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 433
Turn Signal On Chime
If a turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a
mile (1.2 km), a chime will sound at each ash of
the turn signal and the message TURN SIGNAL
will also appear in the DIC. To turn the chime and
message off, move the turn signal lever to the
off position.
See “TURN SIGNAL” underDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 202for more information.

Accessory Power Outlet(s)
Your vehicle may have accessory power outlets.
With accessory power outlets you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio.
Your vehicle may have two accessory power
outlets located on the lower part of the instrument
panel below the climate control system and
there may be one located on the rear of the
center console. A small cap must be pulled down
to access an accessory power outlet. When
not using an outlet be sure to cover it with the
protective cap.
Notice:Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always
unplug electrical equipment when not in use
and do not plug in equipment that exceeds the
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Certain electrical accessories may not be
compatible with the accessory power outlet and
could result in blown vehicle or adapter fuses.
If you experience a problem, see your dealer for
additional information on accessory power outlets.Notice:Adding any electrical equipment to
your vehicle may damage it or keep other
components from working as they should.
The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Do not use equipment exceeding
maximum amperage rating of 20 amperes.
Check with your dealer/retailer before adding
electrical equipment.
When adding electrical equipment, be sure to
follow the proper installation instructions included
with the equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the power outlet
can cause damage not covered by your
warranty. Do not hang any type of accessory
or accessory bracket from the plug because
the power outlets are designed for accessory
power plugs only.

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.
