u If there is a burned out fuse, remove it 
with the fuse puller and replace it with a 
new one.
1Inspecting and Changing FusesNOTICEReplacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating 
greatly increases the chances of damaging the 
electrical system.
Replace fuse with a spare fuse of the same specified 
amperage.
Confirm the specified amperage using the charts on  
P. 510 to 513.
There is a fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse
