CHANGING A FUSE
Fuses
WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that
has the specified amperage rating.
Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating
can cause severe wire damage and could
start a fire. If electrical components in the vehicle are
not working, a fuse may have blown. A break
in the fuse wire will indicate a blown fuse.
Check the appropriate fuses before replacing
any electrical components.
