Maintenance
A vehicle’s electrical system is pro-
tected from a possible electrical
overloading damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 fuse panels - two
on the driver’s side, another on the
panel bolster of the passenger's
side, and the other in the engine
compartment.
When any of your lights, acces-
sories, or controls does not operate,
check the appropriate circuit fuse.
When a fuse is out, some elements
may melt inside.
When the electrical system does not
operate, check the fuse panel on the
driver's side first.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect
the negative battery cable. Always
replace it with a fuse of the same rat-
ing. When the newly-replaced fuse
blows, there may be an electrical
problem. Avoid using any pertinent
systems. Immediately consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Three kinds of fuses are to be used:
a blade type for lower amperage rat-ing, and a cartridge type and a fusiblelink for higher amperage ratings.
Information
The actual fuse, relay panels, and
labels may differ from the equipped
items.

- Fuse replacement
Never replace a fuse with the
one of a different rating.
A higher capacity fuse may cause damage or a fire.
Never use a wire or an alu- minum foil, instead of a prop-
er fuse - even as an emergent
measure. It may damage
extensive wirings and cause a
fire.
WARNING
Do not use a screwdriver or any
other metal object to remove a
fuse. It may cause a short cir-
cuit and damage the system.
CAUTION
7-57
Maintenance07
When replacing a blown fuse orrelay with a new one, make sure
the new fuse or relay fits tightly
into the clips The incomplete
fastening fuse or relay may
cause the vehicle wiring and
electric systems damage and a
possible fire.
Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts or
nuts. The fuses, relays and ter-
minals may be fastened incom-
pletely, and it may cause a pos-
sible fire. If fuses, relays and ter-
minals fastened with bolts or
nuts are blown, consult an
authorized EQUUS dealer.
Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays into
fuse/relay terminals such as a
driver or wiring. It may cause
contact failure and system mal-
function.
Inner panel fuse replacement
1. Turn OFF the ignition switch and all the other switches.
2. Open the fuse panel cover.
