- After a fuse is replaced • If the lights do not turn on even after the fuse has been replaced, a bulb may need replacement.
• If the replaced fuse blows again, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer. - If there is an overload in the circuits

The fuses are designed to blow, protecting the wiring harness from damage.

CAUTION - To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire Observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may cause damage to the vehicle, and possibly a fire or injury. • Never use a fuse of a higher amperage rating than indicated, or use any other object in place of a fuse. • Always use a genuine Toyota fuse or equivalent. Never replace a fuse with a wire, even as a temporary fix.

• Do not modify fuses or the fuse box.

NOTICE
- Before replacing fuses

Have the cause of electrical overload determined and repaired by your Toyota dealer.
