Fuses
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by fuses. This greatly reduces the chance of damage 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 to replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.
Replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse needs to be replaced, the same amperage fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature of the vehicle that is not needed to use and replace it as soon as possible.
There are two fuse blocks in the vehicle: one in the engine compartment and one in the instrument panel.
There is a fuse puller located in the engine compartment fuse block. It can be used to easily remove fuses from the fuse block.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
To remove the fuse block cover, squeeze the clips on the cover and lift it straight up.
Notice: Spilling liquid on any electrical component on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.
The vehicle may not be equipped with all of the fuses, relays, and features shown.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger side panel of the center console. To access the fuses, open the fuse panel door from the passenger side by pulling it out.
To reinstall the door, insert the tabs on the top of the door into the console first, then push the door back into its original location.
