Pic. 1.174. Examples of blown and normal fuses
If the headlights or other electrical components do not work, then check the fuses. If any fuses are blown, they must be replaced (pic. 1.174).
Turn off the ignition and non-working components. Pull the fuse out and check it.
Determine which fuse is bad. The fuse box cover shows the circuit name of each fuse.
Type A fuses can be removed with a puller. The location of the puller is shown in the figure.
If you are unsure if a fuse is blown, try replacing the fuse with one you are sure is good.
If the fuse is blown, install a new fuse in the clip.
Install a fuse only with the rated amperage indicated on the cover of the fuse box.
If a spare fuse is not available, the fuse can be pulled out in an emergency «MIR HTR», «CIG» or «POWER POINT», which are not of great importance for normal driving, and use if it has the same current rating.
If it is not possible to use a fuse with the same current rating, then use one that has a lower value, but as close as possible to the nominal value. If the amperage rating is lower than the specified value, the fuse may blow again, but this is not a sign of a problem. Be sure to purchase the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the replacement fuse to the original clamp.
It is recommended that you buy a set of spare fuses and keep them in your car for emergencies.
If the new fuse blows immediately, this indicates a problem in the electrical system.
Attention! Do not use a fuse with a higher amperage rating or use any object in place of the fuse. This can cause serious damage and lead to a fire.
