*Cavities 11, 12, and 13 contain self-resetting fuses
(circuit breakers) that are only serviceable by an autho-
rized dealer. The cluster and the driver seat switch (if
equipped) are fused by the 25-Amp circuit breaker in
Cavity 11. The passenger seat switch (if equipped) is
fused by the 25-Amp circuit breaker in Cavity 12. The
door modules, the driver power window switch, and the
passenger power window switch are fused by the 25-
Amp circuit breaker in Cavity 13. If you experience
temporary or permanent loss of these systems, see your
authorized dealer for service.
VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than
21 days, you may want to take these steps to protect your
battery.
•Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
•Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.
