FUSES AND RELAYS

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire. Check
the appropriate fuses before
replacing any electrical
components.

Always replace a fuse with
one that has the specified

amperage rating. Using a fuse with
higher amperage rating can cause
severe wire damage and could
start a fire.
