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 fuse blows, 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.

The fuses are located in three fuse blocks, one located in
the engine compartment on the passenger’s side and the
other two under the rear seat.

The underhood fuse block is located in the engine
compartment on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. See
“Engine Compartment Overview” in the Index for more
information on location.

To access the fuses, push in the two tabs located on each
side of the fuse block cover. Then lift the cover off.
