Checking and Replacing Fuses
If something electrical in your
vehicle stops working, the first thing
you should check for is a blown fuse.
Determine from the chart on pages
473 and 474, or the diagram on the
fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses
control that device. Check those
fuses first, but check all the fuses
before deciding that a blown fuse is
the cause. Replace any blown fuses,
and check if the device works.1. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. Make sure the
headlights and all other
accessories are off.
2. (Under-hood fuse boxes) Remove the cover from the fuse
box.
3. Check each of the large fuses inthe under-hood fuse box by
looking through the side window
at the wire inside. Remove the
screws with a Phillips-head
screwdriver.FUSE BLOWN

4. Check the smaller fuses in theunder-hood fuse box and all the
fuses in the interior fuse box by
pulling out each one with the fuse
puller provided on the back of the
primary under-hood fuse box
cover.
5. Look for a blown wire inside thefuse. If it is blown, replace it with
one of the spare fuses of the same
rating or lower. The spare fuses
are provided on the back of the
under-hood fuse cover. If you cannot drive the vehicle
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 accessory
power socket or radio).
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate that anything is wrong.
Replace the fuse with one of the
correct rating as soon as you can.
