Checking and Replacing Fuses
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links.
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 or use one of the spare fuses in the underhood fuse block. 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 right amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
Notice
- Never use a fuse of a higher or lower amperage rating than that specified. This could damage the electrical system or cause a fire.
- Never replace a broken fuse with anything other than a new fuse (such as wire, foil, etc). Use always an intact fuse of the same color.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the instrument panel fuse block and the underhood fuse block.
Passenger Compartment Fuse Box
The instrument panel fuse block is located to the right of the glove box at the end of the instrument panel. Pull the door open to access the instrument panel fuse block.
