IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A- fig. 38must be intact. If not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).
Bundamaged fuse fig. 38
Cfuse with damaged filament fig. 38.
fig. 38F0M0236m
Never change a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating, DANGER OF FIRE.
WARNING
Never replace a broken fuse
with anything other than a
new fuse.
If a general fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-
FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Before changing a fuse,
check the ignition key has
been removed and that all the other
electric devices have been turned
off/disabled.
