Fuses And Circuit Breakers; Instrument Panel Fuse Block - Oldsmobile Bravada 2001 Owner's Manual

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
-
Look at the silver colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without
--
lighter and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
