Fuses

Fuses protect the snowmobile electrical
system from overloading. If electrical
parts in the snowmobile are not working,
the system may have been overloaded and
caused a blown fuse. Before repairing or
replacing any electrical part, check the
appropriate fuses. If a fuse blows (opens a
circuit), all the parts of the snowmobile
that use that circuit will not work.
Once which fuse to check has been deter-
mined, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the fuse block and remove
the fuse block cover.
NOTE: The fuse block is behind
the coolant overflow bottle.
NOTE: There are spare fuses
beneath the fuse block cover.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.
NOTE: Fuse function descriptions
are next to the fuse contacts in the
fuse block.
3. Look through the clear side of the
fuse to see if the element inside is
burned or separated. If it is, the fuse is
XM167A
blown and should be replaced with a
fuse of the correct amperage rating.
! WARNING
Always replace a fuse with one having
the same specified amperage rating.
Using a fuse with a higher rating can
cause severe wire damage and could
start a fire.
4. Install the fuse block cover and close
the access panel.
