If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work, check the
fuses. If any of the fuses are blown,
they must be replaced.
See ºFuse locationsº in Chapter 7- 1
for locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inop-
erative component off. Pull a sus-
pected fuse straight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing
the problem. The lid of the fuse box
shows the name of the circuit for
each fuse. See Part 8 of this manual
for the functions controlled by each
circuit. Type A fuses can be pulled out by
using the pull- out tool. The location of
the pull- out tool is shown in the il-
lustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse
has blown, try replacing the suspected
fuse with one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new
fuse into the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage
rating designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in
an emergency you can pull out the
ºDOMEº or ºA/Cº fuse, which may be
dispensable for normal driving, and
use it if its amperage rating is the
same.If you cannot use one of the same
amperage, use one that is lower, but
as close as possible to the rating. If
the amperage is lower than that speci-
fied, the fuse might blow out again but
this does not indicate anything wrong.
Be sure to get the correct fuse as
soon as possible and return the sub-
stitute to its original clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set
of spare fuses and keep them in your
vehicle for emergencies.
