CHANGING A FUSE
Fuses
If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.

rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
