FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a
combination of mini fuses, circuit breakers and maxi fuses. This greatly
reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
If you have a problem on the road and don’t have a spare fuse, you can
“borrow” one of the same value. Select a feature that you can get along
without that is the same value you need
-- like the radio or cigarette
lighter
-- and use its fuse. Be sure to use a fuse with the same amperage
rating number on it (ie.
lOA, 20A, etc.) Replace it as soon as you can.

The headlamp wiring has an individual fuse which is powered by a MAXI TM fuse.
An electrical overload in the headlamp wiring may cause your headlamps to go
off and remain off. You will need to have your Cadillac serviced immediately.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is powered by a MAXI fuse. An electrical
overload in the motor wiring may cause your wipers to stop working.
If
this happens you will need to have your Cadillac serviced.
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 (such as a switch being held on
with the window completely up), the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or the load is removed.
