Checking and Replacing Fuses  
If something electrical in your  
vehicle stops working, the first thing  
you should check for is a blown fuse.  
Determine from the chart on pages  
271 and 272 , or the diagram on the  
fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses  
control that component. Check those  
fuses first, but check all the fuses  
before deciding that a blown fuse is  
not the cause. Replace any blown  
fuses and check the component's  
operation.

4. Check the smaller fuses in the  
under-hood fuse box and all the  
fuses in the interior fuse box by  
pulling out each fuse with the fuse  
puller provided in the door of the  
interior fuse box.  
3. Check each of the large fuses in  
the under-hood fuse box by  
looking through the top at the wire  
inside. Removing these fuses  
requires a Phillips-head screw-  
driver.  
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK  
(0). Make sure the headlights and  
all other accessories are off.  
2. Remove the cover from the fuse  
box.

Fuses  
If you cannot drive the vehicle  
without fixing the problem, and you  
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse  
of the same rating or a lower rating  
from one of the other circuits. Make  
sure you can do without that circuit  
temporarily (such as the accessory  
power socket or radio).  
NOTICE  
BLOWN  
Replacing a fuse with one that has a  
higher rating greatly increases the  
chances of damaging the electrical  
system. If you do not have a replace-  
ment fuse with the proper rating for the  
circuit, install one with a lower rating.  
If you replace the blown fuse with a  
spare fuse that has a lower rating, it  
might blow out again. This does not  
indicate anything wrong. Replace the  
fuse with one of the correct rating as  
soon as you can.  
6. If the replacement fuse of the  
same rating blows in a short time,  
there is probably a serious  
electrical problem in your vehicle.  
Leave the blown fuse in that  
circuit and have your vehicle  
checked by a qualified mechanic.  
5. Look for a burned wire inside the  
fuse. If it is burned, replace it with  
one of the spare fuses of the same  
rating or lower.  
On EX model  
If the radio fuse is removed, the  
audio system will disable itself. The  
next time you turn on the radio you  
will see "Code" in the frequency  
display. Use the Preset buttons to  
enter the five-digit code (see page  
137).
