PONTIAC GRAND-AM 1993 Owners Manual

Headlight Wiring
The headlight wiring is protected by a
circuit breaker in the fuse block. 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 system checked right away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected
by a circuit breaker and 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, have 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.
