Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by an internal circuit
breaker in thefloor console fuse block. An electrical
overload will cause the lamps to go on and off, or
in some cases to remain off. If this happens, have your
headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical
problem, be sure to get itfixed.
Power Windows and Other Power
Options
Circuit breakers in thefloor console fuse block protect
the power windows and other power accessories. When
the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem
isfixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers
and fusible thermal links.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical
size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have
a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same
amperage or use one of the spare fuses in the
underhood fuse and relay center. Just pick some
feature of your vehicle that you can get along
without–like the radio or cigarette lighter - and use its
fuse, if it is the right amperage. Replace it as soon
as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: thefloor
console fuse block and the underhood fuse and relay
center.
