Fuses
Introduction
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. A blown fuse is recognisa-
ble by the molten metal strip
» Fig. 360
WARNING
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment
» page
275.
CAUTION
Replace the faulty fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
■
If a newly inserted fuse blows after a short time, then seek the assistance of
■
a specialist garage.
Do "not repair" the fuses and do not replace them with stronger ones - it can
■
cause a fire and could damage parts of the electrical system.
Note
We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle.
■
There can be several power consuming devices for one fuse. Multiple fuses
■
may exist for a single power consuming device.
