Fuse boxes are located in the instrument panel and in the engine compartment (pic. 15.2, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, 15.6, 15.7, 15.8). The numbers, current and circuits protected by fuses are given in Table. 15.4, 15.5, 15.6, 15.7, 15.8.
The location of the fuses and the electrical circuits protected by the fuses are shown on the inside of the fuse box cover. Each fuse has an inscription on the value of the protected current.
Pic. 15.9. Visual fuse integrity check
If the fuse is blown, then the conductor connecting the fuse contacts is broken (see fig. 15.9).
Attention! Always replace the fuse with another fuse of the same rating.
Attention! Never replace a fuse more than once without determining the cause of the blown fuse.
To remove the fuse, use tweezers to remove it from the socket. Remove the fuse from the tweezers. The wire inside the fuse is easily visible and will be broken if the fuse is blown.
Install a new fuse with the same current rating. On the reverse side, each fuse has an inscription about the value of the protected current. In addition, the color of the fuse also corresponds to the maximum current flow (see table. 15.9).
If the installed fuse blows again, check the electrical circuit protected by the fuse.
Attention! Never replace a fuse with a jumper wire, as the vehicle's electrical circuit may be seriously damaged.
Attention! The characteristics of fuses and electrical circuits may change from year to year.
