Fuses and Circuit Breakers The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuitbreakers and fusible thermal links. This greatly reduces the chance of damages 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 abad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a spare fuse,you can borrow one that has the same amperage. Justpick some featureof 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.
