Headlamp Wiring

The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the wiring harness. An electrical overload will cause the
lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If
this happens, have your headlamp system checked right
away.

Windshield Wiper Fuses

The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
circuit breaker and a fuse in the fuse panel on the other
side of the instrument panel. If the motor overheats due
to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical
problem, have it fixed.

Power Windows and Other Power Options

Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
