and on the accessory drive bracket for the 5.3L or
6.0L V8 engines.9. Connect the other end of the negative (−) cable to
the remote negative (−) terminal on the vehicle with
the dead battery.

Notice:Do not add anything electrical to the

The headlamp wiring is protected by four fuses.
An electrical overload will cause a lamp to go on and
off. If this happens, have the headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
If the overload is caused by some electrical problem,
have it xed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse block protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is xed or
goes away.
