Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn off the vehicle, including the headlights and
all accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine
compartment. If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-
head screwdriver to remove the screw and
replace the fuse with a new one.
4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine
compartment and the vehicle interior. If there is
a burned out fuse, remove it with the fuse puller
and replace it with a new one.
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances
of damaging the electrical system.
