Fuses
Never attempt to repair a blown fuse and 
do not replace a defective fuse with a sub-
stitute of another color or amperage rating, oth-
erwise this could lead to a circuit overload, ulti-
mately resulting in a fire in the vehicle.
Spare fuses and a pair of plastic forceps are set 
in holders on the distributor box.
See the rear of the cover for information on fuse 
assignment.
