Fuses And Circuit Breakers; Instrument Panel Fuse Block - Pontiac 2006 Montana SV6 Owner's Manual

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
and fusible thermal links.
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 do not have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage or use one of the spare fuses in the
underhood fuse block. Just 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 right
amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle, the instrument
panel fuse block and the underhood fuse block.

Instrument Panel Fuse Block

The instrument panel fuse block is located at the right
end of the instrument panel, on the passenger's
side of the vehicle. Open the front passegner's door,
and remove the cover, to access the fuse block.
Your vehicle may not have all of the fuses listed.
