Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. 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. If a MaxiFuse@should blow, see your dealer for service immediately. If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a spare fuse, you can "borrow" one that has the same amperage. Pick some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without - like the radio or cigarette lighter - and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage. Replace it as soon as you can. You will find a fuse puller clipped in both of the fuse blocks. Snap the wide end of the fuse puller at the side indentations and pull the fuse out. Engine Compartment Fuse Block The engine compartment fuse block is located near the front on the Comparfment Oiewiew on page 5-14 for more information on location. Lift the cover to gain access. Fuse 22 or 23 can be moved to the outer position to provide continuous power to the accessory power outlet or cigarette lighter when the ignition is not on. See your dealer for additional assistance, if needed. Leaving an accessory on for a long period of time can drain the vehicle's battery. The MaxiFuses@are located in two fuse blocks, one located in the engine compartment and the other under the rear seat. If a MaxiFuse@should blow, have your vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately. 5-92
