REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene (blow) in the event of
a failure or improper intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition of its protection
fuse: the filament A fig. 151 must be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another with the same
amperage (same colour).
B = undamaged fuse.
C = fuse with damaged filament.
Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services should the
fuse blow again.
Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE) blows, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Services.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition
key has been removed and that all the other services
are switched off and/or disengaged.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services if a safety
system (airbags, brakes), power unit system (engine,
gearbox) or steering system general protection
fuse blows.
