The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by fuses 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.
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. 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 three fuse blocks in your vehicle: one in the center of the instrument panel, one in the engine compartment and one in the trunk.
There is a fuse puller located on the instrument panel fuse block. It can be used to easily remove fuses from the fuse block.
The instrument panel fuse blocks is located at on the lower front side of the console, on the passenger side of the vehicle. To access the fuses, open the fuse panel door by pulling out.
To reinstall the door, insert the hooks at the front end first, then push the door into the center console panel to secure it.
