Fuses And Circuit Breakers; Instrument Panel Fuse Block - Chevrolet 2004 Epica Owner's Manual

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself.
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.
Five spare fuses are provided in the engine compartment
fuse block. If you ever have a problem on the road and do
not have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the
same amperage. Just pick a feature of your vehicle that
you can get along without — like the radio or cigarette
lighter — and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the instrument
panel fuse block and the engine compartment fuse block.
There is a fuse puller located on the engine compartment
fuse block. It can be used to easily remove fuses from the
fuse block.

Instrument Panel Fuse Block

The instrument panel fuse block is located on the driver's
side end of the instrument panel. To access the fuses,
grip the back end of the fuse panel door and open by
pulling the cover out.
To reinstall the door, insert the tabs at the front end
first, then push the door into the end of the instrument
panel to secure it.
