Fuses

The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by
fuses. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.

To check a fuse, look at the
silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace
a bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.

Fuses of the same amperage can
be temporarily borrowed from
another fuse location, if a fuse goes
out. Replace the fuse as soon as
possible.

To identify and check fuses, circuit
breakers, and relays, see Engine
Compartment Fuse Block on
page 10‑31
,
Instrument Panel Fuse
Block on page 10‑34
, and Rear

Fuse Block

The engine compartment fuse block

Notice: Spilling liquid on any

component.
