BLOWN
5. Look for a blown wire inside the
fuse. If it is blown, replace the fuse
with one of the spare fuses of the
same rating or lower.
If you cannot drive the vehicle
without fixing the problem, and you
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse
of the same rating or a lower rating
from one of the other circuits. Make
sure you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct rating as
soon as you can.
Replacing a f use with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a
replacement f use with the proper
rating f or the circuit, install one with
a lower rating.
6. If the replacement fuse of the
same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your vehicle.
Leave the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your vehicle
checked by a qualified technician.
If the driver's power window fuse is
removed, the AUTO function of the
driver's window will be disabled. To
reset the AUTO function, see page
106 .
If the radio fuse is removed, the
audio system will disable itself. The
next time you turn on the radio you
will see ''CODE'' in the frequency
display. Use the preset bars to enter
the code (see page 162 ).
