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.

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.

The MaxiFuses are located in two fuse blocks, one located in the engine compartment on the passenger's side and the other under the rear seat on the driver's side. If a MaxiFuse should blow, have your vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately.

The engine compartment fuse block is located near the front on the passenger's side of the vehicle. See Engine Compartment Overview for more information on location.

Lift the cover to gain access. On some vehicles, there may be an additional cover that you will need to lift to gain access to the fuses.

Fuse 22 or 23 can be moved to the outer position to provide continuous power to the auxiliary outlets or cigarette lighter when the ignition is not on. See your dealer for additional assistance, if needed.
