amperage rating, and make sure it fits

essential to vehicle operation, such as
the SPARE circuit.

CAUTION

Always replace a fuse with one of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.

Replacing the fuses under the hood

If the headlights or other electrical
components don't work and the fuses in
the cabin are OK, inspect the fuse block
under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the ignition switch and all

other switches.

2. Remove the fuse block cover.
