Cadillac 2007 Escalade - Manual (Page 503)

Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an
internal circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor
overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper
will stop until the motor cools. If the overload is
caused by some electrical problem and not snow,
etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and
other power accessories. If the current load is
too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and
then closes after a cool down period, protecting
the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses,
circuit breakers and fusible thermal links.
This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused
by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new
one of the identical size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and
don’t have a spare fuse, you can borrow
one that has the same amperage. Just pick some
feature of your vehicle that you can get along
without — like the radio or cigarette lighter — and
use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
