FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse
may have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. 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 a higher amperage rating
can cause severe wire damage
and could start a fire.
