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.
Look at the silver-colored L-Band inside the fuse.
If the L-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 and relay center. 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.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the floor
console fuse block and the underhood fuse block.
Floor Console Fuse Block
The floor console fuse
block is located to the
right of the shift lever.
The fuses marked spare are available if a replacement
fuse is needed.
Pull the door open to access the fuse block.
