Toyota AURION Owner's Manual page 284

If the headlights or other electrical compo-
nents do not work, check the fuses. If any
of the fuses are blown, they must be re-
placed.
See "Fuse locations" on page 252 in Section
7--1 for locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inoperative
component off. Pull the suspected fuse
straight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing the
problem. The lid of the fuse box shows the
name of the circuit for each fuse. See page
284 in Section 8 for the functions controlled
by each circuit.
Type B fuses—When any of the fuses are
blown, contact your Toyota dealer.
Type A fuses can be pulled out by the pull-out
tool. The location of the pull-out tool is shown
in the illustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse has
blown, try replacing the suspected fuse with
one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse into
the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rating
designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an
emergency you can pull out the "RADIO
NO.1" or "PWR OUTLET" fuse, which may
be dispensable for normal driving, and use
it if its amperage rating is the same.
DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE -- ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
If you cannot use one of the same amperage,
use one that is lower, but as close to the rat-
ing as possible. If the amperage is lower than
that specified, the fuse might blow out again
but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be
sure to get the correct fuse as soon as pos-
sible and return the substitute to its original
clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare
fuses and keep them in your vehicle for emer-
gencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out, there
is a problem with the electrical system. Have
your Toyota dealer correct it as soon as pos-
sible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage
rating, or any other object, in place of
a fuse. This may cause extensive dam-
age and possibly a fire.
