All electrical functions and components are protected by a number of fuses in order to protect the vehicle's electrical system from damage by short circuiting or overloading.

  1. Refer to the fuse chart to locate the fuse.
  2. Pull out the fuse and examine it from the side to determine if the curved metal wire in the fuse is intact.
  3. If the wire is broken, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same color and amperage.
