If you cannot drive the vehicle
without fixing the problem, and you
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse
of the same rating or a lower rating
from one of the other circuits. Make
sure you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct rating as
soon as you can.
NOTICE: Replacing a f use with one
that has a higher rating greatly
increases the chances of damaging the
electrical system. If you do not have a
replacement f use with the proper rating
f or the circuit, install one with a lower
rating.
If the replacement fuse of the
6.
same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your vehicle.
Leave the blown fuse in that
circuit, and have your vehicle
checked by a qualified mechanic.
On EX model
If the radio fuse is removed, the
audio system will disable itself. The
next time you turn on the radio you
will see ''COdE'' in the frequency
display. Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code (see page
102 ).

Trailer Fuses
If a trailer light is burned out, check
if these fuses are blown when you
replace the light bulbs:
Primary under-hood fuse box
fuses 5, 7, and 24
Interior driver's side fuse box: 10
Interior passenger's side fuse box:
10
If those fuses are OK, but the trailer
lights still do not work, there are two
blown 7.5 amp fuses in the trailer
hatch wiring. To access the 7.5 amp
fuses:
1. Open the tailgate and remove the
cargo floor lid.
2. Pull out the bottom of the tailgate
rubber seal.
3. Remove rear trim panel by pulling
up on the inside edge of the rear
trim panel, and unhooking the four
clips and tabs.
4. After replacing fuses, and reinstall
the rear trim panel in the reverse
order of removal.
