6-69 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.
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.
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 identical size
and rating. Spare fuses are located in the instrument
panel. See ªUnderhood Fuse Blockº in the Index.Instrument Panel Fuse Block
Some fuses are in a fuse block located inside of the
glove box behind a small bin on the right side. To open,
pull the cover out. The fuse block is inside. On the back
edge of this cover is a fuse puller and a fuse usage chart.
To use the fuse puller, 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 reinstall the bin, position the lower end and turn
the top into position. Press on the sides until it snaps
into place.
