Checking and Replacing Fuses
Fuses are simple circuit breakers, which protect the car’s electrical equipment by preventing the electrical circuits from being overloaded.
A blown fuse may be indicated when the item of electrical equipment it protects, stops working.
Only replace a fuse with one of the same or lower rating.
- Turn off the starter switch and all electrical equipment before changing a fuse.
- Remove the fuse box, then refer to the chart to identify the suspect fuse.
- Press the removal tweezers (located in the fuse box) onto the head of the fuse and pull to remove. A blown fuse can be recognized by a break in the wire.
- Replace a blown fuse with another of the same, or lower ratings. Note that there are a number of spare fuses located along the lower side of the fuse box.
If a replacement fuse fails almost immediately, refer the problem to your dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Notice
- Never use a fuse of a higher or lower amperage rating than that specified. Never replace a broken fuse with anything other than a new fuse (such as wire, foil, etc). This could damage the electrical system or cause a fire.
Passenger Compartment Fuse Box
The passenger compartment fuse box is located behind the front passenger glove box. A coin or flat-bladed screwdriver is needed to remove the closure panel beneath the glove box in order to be able to access the fuse box.
