Fuses
4. Check the smaller fuses in the
underhood fuse box and all the
fuses in the interior fuse box by
pulling out each fuse with the
fuse puller provided in the
interior fuse box.
5. Look for a burned wire inside the
fuse. If it is burned out, replace it
with one of the spare fuses of the
same rating or lower.
If you cannot drive the car without
fixing the problem, and you do not
have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the
same rating or a lower rating from
one of the other circuits. Make sure
you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the rear
window defogger, or radio).
If you replace the burned out fuse
with a spare fuse that has a lower
rating, it might blow out again.
This does not indicate anything
wrong. Replace the fuse with one
of the correct rating as soon as you
can.
Replacing a fuse with one that has
a higher rating greatly increases
the chances of damaging the
electrical system. If you do not
have a replacement fuse with the
proper rating for the circuit, install
one with a lower rating.
6. If the replacement fuse of the
same rating burns out in a short
time, there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your car.
Leave the burned out fuse in that
circuit and have your car check-
ed by a qualified technician.
