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.
Headlights
The headlight 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 headlight wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker a\
nd a fuse. If
the motor overheats due
to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools.
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, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
Trailer Wiring Harness
The optional 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.

Fuse Block
K2644
The fuse block is in the instrument panel on the driver’s side.
You can remove fuses with a fuse extractor,
if you have one. To remove
fuses
if you don’t have one, hold the end of the fuse between your thumb
and index finger and pull straight out.
Be sure
to use the correct fuse. If you ever have a problem on the road and
don’t have a spare fuse, you can “borrow’’ one of the correct value. Just pick
some feature
of your vehicle that you can get along without-like the radio or
cigarette lighter-and use its fuse,
if it is of the value you need. Replace it
as soon as you can. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index for more
information.
Exhaust System
To help prevent damage to your exhaust system, do not continue to drive
your vehicle
if you notice:
Engine misfiring
Loss of performance
Other unusual operating conditions
Have your engine and exhaust system serviced regularly.
Three- Way Cataiytic Converter
Your vehicle’s three-way catalytic converter is designed to reduce the
pollutants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use only unleaded fuel in your vehicle.

BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION -When the engine oil is changed,
inspect the lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, \
cracks,
chafing, etc. Check the parking brake adjustment, and the fluid level in
the master cylinder.
A low fluid level can indicate worn disc brake pads
which may need to be sewiced.t
*An Emission Control Service
tA fluid
loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them
inspected and repaired at once.
