IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action (i.e.
it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-
proper action on the system.
Check the efficiency of the corresponding
fuse when a device does not work: the
conducting element A-fig. 37 must not be
interrupted. If it is, replace the blown fuse
with another with the same amperage
(same colour).
B undamaged fuse
C fuse with damaged filament.
fig. 37 F0R0122m
Never replace a fuse with
another of higher amperage:
FIRE RISK.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse
with metallic wires or other
material.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if a
general protection fuse
blows (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE,
MAXI-FUSE).
WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remove the key from the ig-
nition switch and switch off
all loads before replacing a fuse.
