FUSES
Replacing a fuse:
1. Open the fuse block cover.
2. Identify a defective fuse by its
melted wire.
3. Use the fuse extractor to remove the
blown fuse. The fuse extractor is
located in the engine compartment
fuse block.
Do not use a tool that can conduct
electricity when removing a blown
fuse. Only use a fuse extractor.
Using a conductor such as metal can
cause a short circuit, damage the
electrical system or start a fire.
Serious injury could occur.
