Checking and Replacing Fuses
*
[SV42300( ALL)02/95]
If you need to check a fuse, follow these steps:
*
[SV42800(B F )03/91]
1. In order to find the fuse panel, you must
first remove the cover from the lower edge
of the instrument panel. You can do this by
pulling on handle to disengage the fasteners.

2. On the fuse panel cover, find the number of
the fuse you want to check. The diagram on
the cover tells you where to locate the fuse
on the panel.
*
[SV43350(B FM)10/92]
The underside of the cover also contains a
fuse pulling tool in case you need to replace
a blown fuse.
*
[SV43400( ALL)10/92]
3. Check the fuse to see if it is blown. Look
through the clear side of the fuse to see if
the metal wire inside is separated. If it is,
the fuse is blown and should be replaced.

RWARNING
Always replace a fuse with one that has
the specified amperage rating. Using a
fuse with a higher amperage rating can
cause severe wire damage and could start
a fire.
*
[SV43800( ALL)10/92]
5. Put the fuse panel cover back on.
*
[SV44000( ALL)05/93]
Even after you replace a fuse, it will continue to
blow if you do not find what caused the
overload. If the fuse continues to blow, have
your electrical system checked.

Circuit Breakers
*
[SV44200(BEF )03/95]
If you need to check a circuit breaker on the
fuse panel, seeChecking and replacing fusesto
find out how to locate the fuse panel. Otherwise,
locate the circuit breaker according to the
instructions on the charts given earlier in this
chapter.
*
[SV44300( ALL)02/95]
Since you need diagnostic equipment to check
whether a circuit breaker works and such
equipment comes with instructions, we do not
discuss how to check circuit breakers.
*
[SV44400( ALL)10/92]
However, you should know that the circuit
breakers will reset themselves and allow the
electrical parts to work again once the overload
on the circuit is removed. If the circuit breakers
continue to cut off electricity, have your vehicle's
electrical system checked.
*
[SV44500( ALL)02/95]
If you replace a circuit breaker, use one with the
same amperage rating. To remove a circuit
breaker mounted in the fuse panel, grip it with
your finger and thumb and pull it straight out
of its socket.
