Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from

short circuits by fuses, circuit breakers and thermal links

in the wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance of

ﬁres caused by electrical problems.

Look at the metallic 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 correct size.

If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a

spare fuse, you can borrow one. Just pick some feature

of your vehicle that you can get along without — like the

radio or cigarette lighter — and use its fuse, if it is the size

you need. Replace it as soon as you can.

Before replacing a fuse, turn every vehicle electrical

switch off.

There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the instrument

panel fuse block and the engine compartment fuse

block.

Instrument Panel Fuse Block

This fuse block is located under the driver’s side of the

instrument panel. The fuses here protect each

separate circuit including headlamps. There are spare

fuses inside the fuse box. If you have electrical

failure, check here ﬁrst.
