Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses,
circuit breakers and fusible thermal links in the
wiring itself. 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 to replace a bad fuse with a new one of
the identical size and rating. Spare fuses and
a fuse puller are located in the underhood
fuse block. SeeUnderhood Fuse Blocklater in
this section.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
Some fuses are in a
fuse block located on
the end of the
instrument panel on the
passenger side.
To get to the fuse block lift up on the side panel.
A fuse usage chart is on the inside of this
panel.
