Checking and Replacing Fuses
If you need to check a fuse, follow these steps:
1. Find the fuse panel to the left of the steering
column. Remove the fuse panel cover to
expose the fuse panel.
2. Check the fuse to see if it is blown. Look
through the clear side of the fuse to see if
the metal wire inside is separated. If it is,
the fuse should be replaced.
