6-69 Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes.
This protects the circuit until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers,
maxi
-fuses and fusible links. This greatly reduces the
chance of a fire caused by an electrical problem. There
may be a fuse taped to the wiring harness inside the
battery box and one near the generator also taped to the
wiring harness.
There are two circuit breaker/fuse blocks in your
vehicle: the instrument panel circuit breaker block and
the maxi
-fuse block.
Instrument Panel Circuit Breaker Block
This fuse block is in the lower portion of the instrument
panel, to the left of the steering column.
To open the door, pull up
and outward on the recessed
door handle and the door
will snap out.
To install the door, place the lower door into the bottom
retainer and push the top of the door in until it snaps
into place.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a
spare circuit breaker, you can borrow one of the correct
value. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that you
can get along without
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its circuit breaker if it is of the value
you need. Remember to replace the circuit breaker as
soon as you can.
These circuit breakers are non
-cycling; do not replace
them with cycling circuit breakers. Also, don't use
circuit breakers of higher amperage than those indicated
on the circuit breaker block.
