Fuses
The fuse box is secured to the right-hand side of the engine
compartment by two screws and nylon inserts.
A blown fuse will result in the failure of all dependent circuits and is
confirmed by the inspection of the fuse hen removed. Before
renewing a blown fuse inspect the wiring and the dependent
components for evidence of a short circuit, preferably by using an
ohmmeter. Replace only with the correct fuse. The fuse value is
marked on a paper slip inside the glass tube of the fuse
The fuses indicated in Figure 20 show the top 35 amp fuse
protecting the unswitched battery circuit which includes headlamps,
hazard lamps, interior lamp and horn. the second 35 amp fuse
protects the switched components, ignition circuit, indicators, heater
blower, wiper motor and instruments. The fuse also protects auxiliary
gauges . The third fuse is a 35 amp in series with the battery lighting
circuit protecting the side and rear lamps and instrument illumination.
The fourth fuse supplies the heated rear window (where fitted). This
fuse is designated as "spare" on vehicles which are not fitted with a
heated rear window.
