If any lights, accessories, or controls don't work, inspect the appropriate circuit protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside element will be melted. If the same fuse blows again, avoid using that system and consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. 3. Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse puller provided on the inside of the cover for the fuse panel and the fuse block cover inside of the engine compartment. qFuse Replacement Replacing the fuses on the driver's side If the electrical system does not work, first inspect the fuses on the driver's side. 1. Turn off the ignition switch and other switches. 2. Open the fuse panel cover. 4. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it's blown. Normal Blown Fuse panel cover 5. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rating, and make sure it fits tightly. If it does not fit tightly, have an expert install it. We recommend an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If you have no spare fuses, borrow one of the same rating from a circuit not essential to vehicle operation, such as the ROOM circuit. 8-45 Form No.8X59-EA-07E
