Windshield Wiper Fuses The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem, have it fixed. If you ever have a problem on the road and do not have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same amperage. Just pick some feature of the vehicle that you can get along without - like the radio or cigarette lighter - and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage. Replace it as soon as you can. Vehicles with the ZR-1 package have an intercooler relay located on the fan shroud. See your dealer/retailer. Vehicles with the ZR-1 package also have a fuel system mini-fuse. It is located near the battery in the battery storage compartment in the rear of the vehicle. Power Windows and Other Power Options Circuit breakers protect the power seats, power windows, and other power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away. Instrument Panel Fuse Block The instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger side of the vehicle, under the instrument panel and under the toe-board. Remove the carpet and toe-board covering to access the fuse block by pulling at the top of each corner of the panel. Open the fuse block cover to access the fuses. You can remove fuses using the fuse puller. Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of J-Case fuses, mini-fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. 5-103
