Fuses And Circuit Breakers - Cadillac 1999 DeVille Owner's Manual

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. 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 identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare fuse, you can "borrow" one that has the same
amperage. 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 correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the
underhood fuse block and the rear compartment
fuse block.
Underhood Fuse Block
The underhood fuse block is located next to the engine
air cleaner/filter on the driver's side of the engine. Lift
the cover to gain access.
