Power Windows And Other Power Options; Fuses And Circuit Breakers - GMC C series 2002 Owner's Manual

The hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit and
starter relay circuit are protected by a fusible link.
Vehicles with a diesel engine have a fusible link for the
intake heater feed circuit.

Power Windows and Other Power Options

Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens.
This protects the circuit until the current load returns
to normal or the problem is fixed.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
-
maxi fuses and fusible links. This greatly reduces the
chance of a fire caused by an electrical problem. There
may be a fuse taped to the wiring harness near the
hydraulic brake booster and one near the generator also
taped to the wiring harness.
There are two circuit breaker/fuse blocks in your
vehicle: the instrument panel circuit breaker block
-
and the maxi fuse block.

the bottom retainer and push the top of the door in until
it snaps into place.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare circuit breaker, you can borrow one of the correct
value. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that you
--
can get along without like the radio or cigarette
--
lighter and use its circuit breaker if it is of the value
you need. Remember to replace the circuit breaker as
soon as you can.
This fuse block is in
the lower portion of the
instrument panel, to the
left of the steering column.
To open, pull up and out on
the recessed door handle
