FUSE BLOCK
The fuse block on some models is loca
ted under the instrument panel next to
the steering wheel an d is a swing down unit. Other models have the fuse block
located on the left side of the dash.
Each fuse block uses miniature fuse s which are designed for increased circuit
protection and greater reliabi lity. The compact fuse is a blade terminal design
which allows easy pull-out/push- in removal and replacement.
Although the fuses are interchangeable , the amperage values are not. The
values are usually molded in bold, color coded, easy to read numbers on the
fuse body. Use only fuses of equal replacement valve.
A blown fuse can easily be checked by visual inspection or by continuity
checking.
