The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself.
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.
Five spare fuses are provided in the engine compartment fuse block. If you ever have a problem on the road and do not have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same amperage. Just pick a 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.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the instrument panel fuse block and the engine compartment fuse block.
There is a fuse puller located on the engine compartment fuse block. It can be used to easily remove fuses from the fuse block.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is located on the driver's side end of the instrument panel. To access the fuses, grip the back end of the fuse panel door and open by pulling the cover out.
To reinstall the door, insert the tabs at the front end first, then push the door into the end of the instrument panel to secure it.
