The fuse boxes are located in the instrument panel and in the engine compartment (figures 15.2, 15.3, 15.4, 15.5, 15.6, 15.7, 15.8). The numbers, current and circuits protected by the fuses are given in the 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 indicating the value of the current it protects.
Figure 15.9. Visual inspection of fuse integrity
If the fuse is blown, it means that the wire connecting the fuse contacts is broken (see Figure 15.9).
Caution: Always replace a fuse with another fuse of the same rating.
Caution: Never replace a fuse more than once without first determining the cause of its blown fuse.
To remove the fuse, use tweezers to pull it out of the socket. Remove the fuse from the tweezers. The wire inside the fuse is easily visible and will be broken if the fuse blows.
Install a new fuse rated for the same current. On the back side of each fuse there is an inscription indicating the value of the protected current. In addition, the color of the fuse also corresponds to the maximum current it can carry (see table 15.9).
If the installed fuse blows again, check the electrical circuit protected by the fuse.
Caution! Never replace a fuse with a jumper wire, as this may cause serious damage to the vehicle's electrical circuit.
Please note: Fuse ratings and electrical circuits may change from year to year.
