Fuses And Circuit; Breakers; Engine Compartment Fuse Block - GMC 2012 Sierra Series Owner's Manual

Fuses and Circuit

Breakers

If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the
hybrid supplement for more
information.
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses, circuit
breakers and fusible thermal links.
This greatly reduces the chance of
fires caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band
inside the fuse. If the band is broken
or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure
you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the
road and don't have a spare fuse,
you can borrow one that has the
same amperage. Just pick some
feature of your vehicle that you can
get along without like the radio or
cigarette lighter and use its fuse,
if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
