IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERALITIES fig. 37
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
Check the efficiency of the corresponding
fuse when a device does not work: the
conducting element A must not be inter-
rupted. If it is, replace the blown fuse with
another with the same amperage (same
colour).
B intact fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse use tweezers D, hooked
inside the fuse compartment cover on the
left side of the dashboard.
To identify the protection fuse, see the
tables in the following pages.
❒ open the bulb cover B-fig. 36 and re-
place the snap-fitted bulb C;
❒ re-close the bulb cover B on the lens;
❒ reinstall the ceiling light properly in-
serting it into its seat on one side first,
and then pressing the other side until it
clicks into position.
