yellowblue Fuses and Circuit 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. 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. There are three fuse blocks in your vehicle: the Instrument Panel Fuse Block located under the instrument panel, the Underhood Fuse Block located on the passenger's side engine compartment and the Rear Fuse Block, located under the rear seat. Instrument Panel Fuse Block The instrument panel fuse block is located to the far right side under the instrument panel. Remove the hush panel on the passenger's side to reveal the fuses. To remove the panel, do the following: 1. Remove the two 7 mm screws located along the front edge of the panel. 2. Lower the hush panel. The fuse block is a rectangular covered box located on the far right side under the instrument panel. 3. Remove the cover. Now you can see the fuses and replace them. 4. Place the wide end of the fuse puller over the plastic end of the fuse. 5. Squeeze the ends over the fuse and pull it out. Spare fuses are located in the empty slots shown on the following chart. When finished, replace the hush panel. Replace lamps, connectors, and HVAC duct temperature sensors if they were removed. 6-67
