Electrical Circuit Protection
Two kinds of fuses are used: standard fuses for lower amperage rating and main fuses for higher amperage ratings.
A vehicle's electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one located in the drivers side panel bolster, the other in the engine compartment near the battery.
If any of your vehicle's lights, accessories, or controls do not work, check the appropriate circuit fuse.
If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will be melted.
If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver's side fuse panel. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indicates an existing electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved, further diagnostics of the appropriate circuit is required. See FUSE INSPECTION .
