The vehicle’s fuses are contained in
three fuse boxes.
The primary under-hood fuse box is
in the engine compartment on the
driver’s side. To open it, push the
tabs as shown.
The secondary fuse box is next to
the primary fuse box.
The interior fuse box is underneath
the steering column. To remove the
fuse box lid, pull it toward you and
take the lid out of its hinges.

Fuses
If something electrical in your
vehicle stops working, check for a
blown fuse first. Determine from the
chart on pages 240 and 241 , or the
diagram on the fuse box lid, which
fuse or fuses control that device.
Check those fuses first, but check all
the fuses before deciding that a
blown fuse is the cause. Replace any
blown fuses, and check if the device
works.

without fixing the problem, and you
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse
of the same rating or a lower rating
from one of the other circuits. Make
sure you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket or radio).
Replacing a fuse with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances of damaging the electrical
system. If you do not have a
replacement fuse with the proper rating
for the circuit, install one with a lower
rating.
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct rating as
soon as you can.
6. If the replacement fuse of the
same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your vehicle.
Leave the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your vehicle
checked by a qualified mechanic.
If the radio fuse is removed, the
audio system will disable itself. The
next time you turn on the radio you
will see ‘‘COdE’’ in the frequency
display. Use the preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code (see page
136 ).
