Maintenance Fundamentals
Fuses
Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your
vehicle. If something electrical on your
vehicle stops working, check for and
replace any blown fuses.
❙
Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
Turn the ignition switch OFF to remove and
inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown, replace
with a fuse of the same rating. For fuse
ratings, see "Specifications."
Blown fuse
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating
greatly increases the chance of damage to the electrical
system.
If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your vehicle inspected
by your dealer.
