FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical
components in the
vehicle are not
working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown
fuses are identified by a broken wire within the fuse.
Check the appropriate fuses before replacing any
electrical components.

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.
