Fuses are designed to protect the electri-
cal circuits in your vehicle from a short cir-
cuit. If a fuse is blown, the components
and systems secured by that fuse will stop
operating.
The following aids are available to help you
replace fuses. They are located in the trunk
with the vehicle tool kit (
page 383).

The fuse chart explains the fuse alloca-
tion and fuse amperages.
