Maxifuse@/Relay Center
It’s easy to check the fuses in this underhood relay
center. There are two locking
arms on either side of the
base of the cover. Reach down and unsnap each one by
pulling the cover toward you, then pushing it away
while pulling up. Remove the cover. The inside of the
cover has a chart that explains the features and controls
governed by each fuse and relay.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination
of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance
of damage
caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse.
If
the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be
sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the
correct amp rating.
1wo spare fuses are located below the fuse puller. You’ll
also find spare fuses in the slots labeled “Spare’’ in the
following charts.
There are three main fuse panels: the instrument panel
fuse block and two (driver’s side and passenger’s side)
rear compartment fuse blocks.

Instrument Panel Fuse Block
This fuse block is located on the left side of the
instrument panel.
To open it, push the latch to the left,
then pull, and the door will open.
You’ll find
a fuse puller clipped to the inside of the
cover. Place the wide end
of the fuse puller over the
plastic end
of the fuse. Squeeze the ends over the fuse
and pull it out. To close the fuse door, press the door
closed and it
will latch.

under the rear seat cushion. The battery’s
ground terminal and some relay wires are
exposed.
To help avoid damage to the battery
