IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERAL fig. 45
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check the
F0G0103m
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A must be intact. If not, replace the
fuse with one of the same amp rating
(same colour).
B undamaged fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pli-
ers D hooked to the fusebox on the in-
strument panel left-hand side.
Refer to the tables on the following pages
to identify the protection fuse.
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp
rating; DANGER OF FIRE.

If a general fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-
FUSE) cuts in, do not attempt any re-
pair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse,
make sure the ignition key
has been removed and that all the
other services are switched off and/or
