The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible thermal links.
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 do not have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same amperage or use one of the spare fuses in the underhood fuse block. Just 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 right amperage. Replace it as soon as you can.
There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle, the instrument panel fuse block and the underhood fuse block.
The instrument panel fuse block is located to the right of the glove box on the end of the instrument panel.
Pull the door open to access the instrument panel fuse block.

This fuse block is located in the engine compartment, in front of the windshield washer fluid reservoir. See Engine Compartment Overview for more information on location.
The fuses marked spare are available if a replacement fuse is needed.
To remove the cover, turn the knob counterclockwise and lift up.
When finished, to put the cover back on, turn the knob clockwise to tighten it. Make sure that the remote positive (+) terminal cover is on correctly.
