FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected tram short
circuits
by
a combination of fuses, circuit breakers. and fusible
thermal links in the wiring itsel!. This greatly reduces the hazard
of electrically caused fires in the automobile. For access to
fuses, grasp the handle of the fuseblock (located under the left
hand side of the instrument panel) and pull the fuseblock
downward. Swing the bottom of the fuseblock back up until it
latches when access is no longer desired.
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light
switch. An electrical overload will cause the lights to
go
on and
off, or in some cases to remain off .. If this happens, have your
headlight wiring checked right away. The windshield wiper motor
is protected by a circuit breaker in addition to a fuse . If the motor
overheats, due to overloading caused by heavy snow, etc., the
wiper will remain stopped until the motor cools; 8e sure to have
the cause of the overloading corrected.
Also, circuit breakers in the fuseblock protect the power win·
dows and other power accessories. When the current load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes intermittently,
protecting the circuit until the cause is found and eliminated.
