Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short
circuits.by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and
fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly
reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
Be sure to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a
problem on the road and don't have
a spare fuse, you
I
can "borrow" one of the identical size and rating. Just
pick some feature of your car that you can get along
without -- like the radio or cigarette lighter
--
and use its
fuse, if it is of the value you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
The fuse panel is to the left of the steering column, near
the parking brake release lever. Pull the cover down to
access the fus.es.
