Electrical System
Add-On Electrical Equipment
Notice:Do not add anything electrical to the
vehicle unless you check with your dealer/retailer
first. Some electrical equipment can damage
the vehicle and the damage would not be covered
by the vehicle’s warranty. Some add-on electrical
equipment can keep other components from
working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain the vehicle battery, even if
the vehicle is not operating.
The vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to the vehicle, seeServicing
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 1-58.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the lights
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 a circuit
breaker inside the motor and a circuit breaker or fuse in
the fuse block. If the motor overheats, the wipers will
stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
an electrical problem, be sure to get it fixed.
Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge
sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt in an
overload situation, opening the circuit.
The starter and other circuits have fusible links. The size
is printed on the insulation. If the insulation is burned
beyond recognition, consult your dealer/retailer for the
proper size. Replace a fusible link with one of the same
size and insulation type. Fusible link insulation is a
special purpose high-temperature material.
Some examples of circuits with fusible links are the
hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit, the generator
output circuit, and the intake heater feed circuit in
vehicles with a diesel engine.
5-95

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. This
protects the circuit until the current load returns to
normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the 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 near the
hydraulic brake booster.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
There are two instrument panel fuse blocks located
behind the instrument panel on the passenger side of
the vehicle.
Be sure to replace fuses with fuses of the same rating.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage than those
indicated on the fuse block.
5-96

Underhood Fuse Block
When a circuit goes out, the problem could be in either
the primary or secondary underhood fuse blocks.
These blocks use blade-type fuses.
Both underhood fuse blocks are located in the engine
compartment, on the passenger side of the vehicle.
To access the fuse blocks, gently squeeze both sides of
the cover to unlatch the tabs at the top. Then, unsnap
both attachments at the bottom and remove the cover.
Notice:Spilling liquid on any electrical components
on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the
covers on any electrical component.
Be sure to replace fuses with fuses of the same rating.
Do not use fuses of higher amperage than those
indicated on the fuse block.

At Least Twice a Year
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear, cracking, or
contamination. Clean the windshield and wiper blades, if
contaminated. Replace wiper blades that are worn or
damaged. SeeWindshield Wiper Blade Replacement on
page 5-71andWindshield and Wiper Blades on
page 5-91for more information.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth. During very cold,
damp weather more frequent application may be
required. Part C tells you what to use.
Body Lubrication Service
Lubricate all exposed surfaces such as door checks,
door lock bolts, lock strike plates, door hinge bushings,
latches, and dovetail bumper wedges. Where oil
holes are provided, a dripless oil can be used. The seat
adjusters, seat track, door weatherstrips, and rubber
cap bumpers should also be lubricated. Part C tells you
what to use. More frequent lubrication may be required
when exposed to a corrosive environment.
Parking Brake Check
Park on a fairly steep hill and hold the vehicle with the
parking brake only. This checks holding ability. See
Parking Brake (With Hydraulic Brakes) on page 2-38or
Parking Brake (With Air Brakes) on page 2-41.
Starter Switch Check
{CAUTION:
When you are doing this inspection, the vehicle
could move suddenly. If the vehicle moves, you or
others could be injured.
1. Before you start, be sure you have enough room
around the vehicle.
2. Firmly apply both the parking brake and the regular
brakes.
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and be ready to
turn off the engine immediately if it starts.
3. On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the
engine in each gear. The starter should work only in
P (Park) or N (Neutral). If the starter works in any
other position, your vehicle needs service. On
manual transmission vehicles, the starter should
work only when the clutch pedal is all the way down.
6-27

Mirrors and Sun Visors Check
Check that friction joints hold mirrors and sun visors in
place.
Seat Adjuster Check
When adjusting a manual seat, be sure seat adjusters
latch by attempting to move the seat after latching.
Lamps Check
Check panel lighting, warning lights, indicator lights, and
interior lamps. On the outside, check: license plate lamps,
sidemarker lamps, reflectors or lights on outside mirrors,
headlamps, parking lamps, identification and clearance
lamps, taillamps, brake lamps, turn signals, backup
lamps, and hazard warning flashers. Have headlamp aim
checked at once if beams seem improperly aimed.
Glass, Mirrors, Lamps, and/or
Reflectors Condition Check
Look for broken, scratched, dirty, or damaged glass,
mirrors, lamps, or reflectors that could reduce the view
or visibility or cause injury. Replace, clean, or repair
promptly.
Door Latches Check
Check that doors close, latch, and lock tightly. Check for
broken, damaged, or missing parts that might prevent
tight latching.
Hood Latches Check
Check that the hood closes firmly. Check for broken,
damaged, loose, or missing parts that might prevent tight
latching. Make sure the secondary latch, if the vehicle
has one, keeps the hood from opening all the way when
the primary latch is released.
6-29

Fluid Leaks Check
Check for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the vehicle after it has
been parked for awhile.
Underbody Inspection
Corrosive materials used for ice, snow removal, and dust
control can collect on the underbody. If these materials
are not removed, accelerated corrosion (rust) can occur
on underbody parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan,
and exhaust system. At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with plain water. Take care
to clean well any areas where mud and other debris can
collect. Sediment packed in closed areas of the frame
should be loosened before being flushed.
Engine Cover Check
Check that the cab’s engine cover and seal, if the
vehicle has one, are not torn or damaged. Be sure that
the cover is clamped down firmly to the floor.
At Least Once a Year
Key Lock Cylinders Service
Lubricate the key lock cylinders with the lubricant
specified in Part C.
Underbody Flushing Service
At least every spring, use plain water to flush any
corrosive materials from the underbody. Take care to
clean thoroughly any areas where mud and other debris
can collect.
Tractor Protection (Breakaway) Valve
Check
On air brake models, remove, disassemble, clean, and
inspect the tractor protection (breakaway) valve.

Vehicle Data Recording and
Privacy
Vehicle Data Recording and Privacy
(Isuzu 7.8L L6 Engine)
Your GM vehicle has a number of sophisticated
computers that record information about the vehicle’s
performance and how it is driven. For example,
your vehicle uses computer modules to monitor and
control engine and transmission performance, to monitor
the conditions for airbag deployment and deploy
airbags in a crash and, if so equipped, to provide
antilock braking to help the driver control the vehicle.
These modules may store data to help your
dealer/retailer technician service your vehicle. Some
modules may also store data about how you operate the
vehicle, such as rate of fuel consumption or average
speed. These modules may also retain the owner’s
personal preferences, such as radio pre-sets, seat
positions, and temperature settings.
