Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse block protect the powerwindows and other power accessories. When the currentload is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens andcloses, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed orgoes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected fromshort circuits by a combination of fuses and circuitbreakers. This greatly reduces the chance of firescaused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If theband is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure youreplace a bad fuse with a new one of the identicalsize and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t havea spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the sameamperage. Just pick some feature of the vehicle that youcan get along without — like the radio or cigarettelighter — and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.Replace it as soon as you can.
Underhood Fuse Block
The underhood fuse block is located on the passengerside of the engine compartment. Remove the fusecover and secondary service cover to access thefuse block.
Notice:Spilling liquid on any electrical componentson the vehicle may damage it. Always keep thecovers on any electrical component.
