The vehicle’s fuses are contained in

three fuse boxes.

The primary under-hood fuse box is

in the engine compartment on the

driver’s side. To open it, push the

tabs as shown.

The secondary fuse box is next to

the primary fuse box.

The interior fuse box is underneath

the steering column. To remove the

fuse box lid, pull it toward you and

take the lid out of its hinges.

Checking and Replacing Fuses

If something electrical in your

vehicle stops working, check for a

blown fuse first. Determine from the

chart on pages 240 and 241 , or the

diagram on the fuse box lid, which

fuse or fuses control that device.

Check those fuses first, but check all

the fuses before deciding that a

blown fuse is the cause. Replace any

blown fuses, and check if the device

works.

5. Look for a blown wire inside the

fuse. If it is blown, replace it with

one of the spare fuses of the same

rating or lower.

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).

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

replacement 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.

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

136 ).
