Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. 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 correct size.
Main Fuse Block
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one of the correct value. 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 size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
The main fuse block is located on the left side of your
instrument panel. Open the cover to expose the fuses.
