Electrical System Overload

Electrical System
Following the after-delivery service, it is the
owner's responsibility to check all wiring
periodically for cracked, chafed or oil-soaked
insulation and maintain it in a clean and
tight condition to ensure satisfactory
operation of the electrical system.
Replacing the Fuses and Relays
Your vehicle is equipped with fuses and
fusible links to protect your electrical wiring
and equipment in case of electrical overload.
When the lights do not come on or flash,
or the equipment in the electrical system
does not operate, check to see if a fuse has
blown.
Fuses : In case of an electrical overload, the
fuse will blow and stop the flow of current
in the circuit before electrical components
become damaged.
The cause of the circuit overload must be
identified and corrected before the blown
fuse is replaced, or else the new fuse will
also blow. Since different circuits handle
different amounts of current, fuses of
various ampere ratings are used. Be sure to
replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the
correct rating.
To know if a fuse is blown or not, remove
the suspected fuse and look at the wire for
a break. If the wire is broken, replace the
fuse with one of equal amperage rating.
The amperage rating of each fuse is molded
in its head.
Fuses are installed in the fuse panel.
The Location of Fuses and Relays
Vehicle Care
The fuses (3) and relays (2) are located in the
lower part of the instrument panel in the
center and in the left rear of the cab.
