Fuse Replacement 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.
Check a suspect fuse by removing it from the fuse box and looking
for a break in the wire inside the fuse.
Only replace a fuse with one of the same, or lower rating.
Fuse boxes
There are two fuse boxes; the passenger compartment fuse box,
located behind the front passenger glove box and the other in the
engine compartment. The location and value of each fuse, is
shown on the charts attached to the underside of the fuse box
covers. They are also shown on the following pages.
Spare fuses are provided in the interior fuse box, however these are
not numbered in the following illustration.
Fuse colours
In both fuse boxes, the fuses are colour coded to identify their
amperage ratings as follows:
Spare fuses
A separate module containing spare fuses of varying values is
attached to one side of the passenger compartment fuse box. The
module contains:
•
Five mini-size fuses suitable for the passenger compartment fuse
box.
•
Four larger fuses suitable for the engine compartment fuse box.
•
A double-ended fuse extraction tool, suitable for removing
both mini-size and larger fuses.
