CHANGING A FUSE
Fuses
WARNING: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.
If electrical components in your
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are identified
by a broken wire within the fuse.
Check the appropriate fuses before
replacing any electrical components.
