Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit
breakers. 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 a fuse should blow, see your dealer
for service immediately.

If you ever have a problem on the road and do not have
a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that has the same
amperage. 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.

The fuses are located in two fuse blocks, one located
near the engine compartment on the passenger’s
side and the other under the rear seat on the driver’s
side. If a fuse should blow, have your vehicle serviced
by your dealer immediately.

Underhood Fuse Block

The underhood fuse block is located in the front of the
engine compartment between the windshield washer
fluid reservoir and the power steering fluid reservoir on
the passenger’s side of the vehicle. See Engine
Compartment Overview
on page 5-12 for more
information on location.

To access the fuses, push in the two tabs located at
each end of the fuse block cover. Then, lift the cover off.
