Fuses And Circuit; Breakers; Engine Compartment Fuse Block - Chevrolet 2012 Tahoe Owner's Manual

Fuses and Circuit

Breakers

If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the
hybrid supplement for more
information.
The wiring circuits in the vehicle
are protected from short circuits by
a combination of fuses, circuit
breakers and fusible thermal links.
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.
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 your vehicle that you
can get along without
the radio or accessory power
outlet and use its fuse, if it is the
correct amperage. Replace it as
soon as you can.
Engine Compartment

The Engine Compartment Fuse
Block is located in the engine
compartment, on the driver side of

Notice: Spilling liquid on any
electrical component on the
vehicle may damage it. Always
keep the covers on any electrical
component.
To remove fuses, hold the end of
the fuse between your thumb and
index finger and pull straight out.
