IN THE EVENT OF A BLOWN FUSE
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the elec-
tric system: it comes into action (i.e. it cuts
off) mainly due to a fault or improper action
on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse. The conductor ele-
ment(A-fig. 49) must be intact; if not, re-
place the fuse with one of the same amp
rating (same colour).(B) - Undamaged fuse
(C) - Fuse with damaged filament.
Remove the blown fuse using the pincer
provided (D), in the control box.
fig. 49
A0A0185b
Never replace a fuse with
metal wires or anything
else. Always use an intact
fuse of the same colour.
Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
If a general fuse (MAXI-
FUSE or MEGA-FUSE) cuts
in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Services.
Before replacing a fuse,
make sure the ignition key
has been removed and that
all the other services are switched
off and/or disengaged.
If a fuse blows again,
contact an Alfa Romeo Au-
thorised Service.
