Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse block protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or
goes away.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in the 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.
6-104
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. Just pick some feature of the vehicle
that you can get along without
cigarette lighter and use its fuse, if it is the
correct amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.

Underhood Fuse Block

The underhood fuse block is located on the passenger
side of the engine compartment. Remove the fuse cover
and secondary service cover to access the fuse block.
Notice: Spilling liquid on any electrical component
on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the
covers on any electrical component.
