If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work, check the
fuses. If any of the fuses are blown,
they must be replaced.
See "Fuse locations" on page 283 for
locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inoperative
component off. Pull a 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 on 321 for the functions controlled
by each circuit.
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 rat-
ing designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an
emergency you can pull out the "RADIO",
"DOME" or "RR A.C" fuse, which may be
dispensable for normal driving, and use it
if its amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amper-
age, use one that is lower than, but as
close as possible to, the rating. 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 possible
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 ve-
hicle for emergencies.
