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 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 you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.

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

You will find a fuse puller attached in both of the fuse blocks. Snap the wide end of the fuse puller on to the fuse, at the side indentations holding the puller and pull the fuse out.

The engine compartment fuse block is located in the front of the engine compartment on the passenger's side. Lift the cover to gain access.

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