MaxifuseslRelay Center To check the fuses inthis underhood fuse center, turn the two knobs one-quarter t r counterclockwise and un remove the cover.There is a chart inside the cover that explains the features andcontrols governed by each fuse and relay. The PASS-Key 1 fuse islocated in the right side 1 relay center. 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. If you ever have a problemon the road and don't have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has thesame amperage. Just pick some feature of your 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. There are two fuse blocks in your vehicle: the driver's side and passenger's side fuse blocks. Fuses andCircuit Breakers The wiring circuits in your 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.
