IF A FUSE BLOWS
GENERAL fig. 45
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.
When a device does not work, check the
efficiency of its fuse: the conductor ele-
ment A must be intact. If not, replace the
fuse with one of the same amp rating
(same colour).
B undamaged fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pli-
ers D hooked to the fusebox on the in-
strument panel left-hand side.
Refer to the tables on the following pages
to identify the protection fuse.
❒ open the bulb cover B-fig. 44 and re-
place the pressure-fitted bulb C;
❒ refit the cover B on the transparent;
❒ refit correctly the light pressing one
side and then the other until the lock-
ing click is heard.

Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp

pair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure
the ignition key has been removed
and that all the other services are
switched off and/or disengaged.

If a fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
