Vehicle Care 9-41 Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems. To check a fuse, look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. Fuses of the same amperage can be temporarily borrowed from another fuse location, if a fuse goes out. Replace the fuse as soon as you can. To identify and check fuses, circuit breakers, and relays, see Engine Compartment Fuse Block (CTS) on page 9‑41 or Engine Compartment Fuse Block (CTS-V) on page 9‑45 or Engine Compartment Fuse Block (CTS Wagon) on page 9‑48 and Rear Compartment Fuse Block (CTS) on page 9‑51 or Rear Compartment Fuse Block (CTS-V) on page 9‑53 or Rear Compartment Fuse Block (CTS Wagon) on page 9‑55. Engine Compartment Fuse Block (CTS) The underhood fuse block is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment. Lift the fuse block cover to access the fuses. Notice: Spilling liquid on any electrical components on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.
