Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to add anything electrical to your
vehicle, see
Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped
Vehicle on page 80 .
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by fuses. Should
your headlamps fail to function, have your
headlamp system checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
some electrical problem, have it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Fuses in the fuse block protect the power windows.
When the current load is too heavy, the fuse opens
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed.
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.
This greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
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 do not
have a spare fuse, you can “borrow” one that
has the same amperage. 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 correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the floor
console fuse block and the engine compartment
fuse block.
There is one additional fuse located in the back of
the vehicle near the battery.
