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
in the
wiring itself. This greatly reduces the chance
of fires caused by electrical
problems. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index for more
information.
Headlamps
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the lamp switch.
An electrical overload will cause
the lamps to flicker on and off, or in some
cases to remain off. If this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If
the motor overheats due
to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload,
overload due
to heavy snow, etc., may cause wiper linkage damage. Always
clear ice and heavy snow from the the windshield before using the
windshield wipers. If the overload
is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
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.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The seven-wire trailer wiring harness is protected by an in-line fuse in the
battery feed wire. This fuse is near the junction block. See “Trailer Wiring
Harness”
in the Index for more information.
