Fuses

BLOWN

5. Look for a burned wire inside the

fuse. If it is burned, replace it with
one of the spare fuses of the same
rating or lower.

If you cannot drive the car without

fixing the problem, and you do not
have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the

same rating or a lower rating from
one of the other circuits. Make sure

you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the accessory

power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct rating as

soon as you can.

Replacing a fuse with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a replace-
ment fuse with the proper rating for the
circuit, install one with a lower rating.

6. If the replacement fuse of the

same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your car.
Leave the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your car checked
by a qualified mechanic.

If the radio fuse is removed, the
audio system will disable itself. The

next time you turn on the radio you

will see "Code" in the frequency

display. Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code (see page

142

).
