Fuses

Fuses are used in the circuits to limit damage in the

event of excessive current flow. If a fuse fails, look for a

short circuit, a corroded/poor connection, or any com-

ponent that appears to have been overheated. A failed

fuse is a sign of a problem in that circuit.

Fuses are located under the hood, mounted to the tower

assembly (Fig. 0823).

A. 10 amp = glow plug heat switch, light cluster,

gauges, fuel pump

B. 30 amp = start circuit

If the circuit the fuse is protecting draws too much

current, the metal conductor in the fuse melts in two,

opening the circuit.

A failed fuse will often be discolored or melted. Please

note that not all fuse failures are easy to see. A fuse

can be checked with a continuity tester if there is doubt.

If there is no continuity between the fuse terminals,

replace the fuse, even if it appears good.

The fusible link is a specially fabricated wire that acts as

a high-current fuse to protect the circuit from excessive

current draw.

There are 2 fusible links on the TX525.
