Fuses And Circuit; Breakers - Cadillac 2011 SRX Owner's Manual

10-48 Vehicle Care
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windshield
wipers will stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected
from electrical overload, overload
due to heavy snow or ice may
cause wiper linkage damage.
Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windshield before using
the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an
electrical problem and not snow
or ice, be sure to get it fixed.

Fuses and Circuit

Breakers

The wiring circuits in the vehicle
are protected from short circuits by
a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces
the chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.
To check a fuse, look at the
silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace
a bad fuse with a new one of the
identical size and rating.
Fuses of the same amperage
can be temporarily borrowed from
another fuse location, if a fuse goes
out. Replace the fuse as soon as
you can.
To identify and check fuses, circuit
breakers, and relays, see Engine
Compartment Fuse Block on
page 10 48 and Rear Compartment
Fuse Block on page 10 53.
