puller provided on the fuse panel.
4. Inspect it and replace if it’s blown.
5. Push in a new fuse of the same
amperage rating, and make sure it fits
tightly. If it doesn’t, have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer install it.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the AUDIO or CIGAR circuit.
Replacing the fuses under the hood
If the headlights or other electrical
components don’t work and the fuses in
the cabin are OK, inspect the fuse block
under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it must
be replaced. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the ignition switch and all
other switches.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.
3. If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new
one
of the same amperage rating
.
Always replace a fuse with one of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.
