5-80 Service and Appearance Care Windshield Wiper Fuses The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem, have it fixed. Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by fuses. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems. There are two fuse blocks - the underhood fuse block, and the instrument panel fuse block. To identify and check fuses and relays, refer to the Fuse Usage Chart on the inside surface of the fuse panel door. Instrument Panel Fuse Block The instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger side of the lower console. Power Windows and Other Power Options Circuit breakers in the fuse block protect the 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. Pull the latch of the fuse box cover straight back to access the fuses.
