Inspecting and Changing Fuses NOTICE 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.
Replace fuse with a spare fuse of the same specified
amperage.
Confirm the specified amperage using the charts on
P. 2 9 4 t o P. 2 9 6 .
There is a fuse puller on the back of the engine
compartment fuse box.
4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine
compartment and the vehicle interior.
If there is a burned out fuse, remove it
with the fuse puller and replace it with a
new one.
