The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links. The fuse block, which contains miniaturized fuses with blade terminal design, is located under a cover on the left end of the instrument panel. Each fuse is designed to protect a specific circuit, and the fuse panel itself identifies the various circuits. To check for a blown fuse, use a test light to check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present on one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. It is important to replace blown fuses with the correct type, as fuses of different ratings are physically interchangeable but only fuses of the proper rating should be used. The amperage value of each fuse is molded into the fuse body. If a replacement fuse fails immediately, do not replace it again until the cause of the problem, such as a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire, is isolated and corrected.

Fusible links are used in circuits that are not typically fused or that carry high current, such as the connection between the alternator and the battery. They are designed to melt if subjected to excessive current.

Blown fuses can be visually inspected by looking for a melted element between the terminals.

It is important to replace blown fuses with the correct type because although fuses of different ratings are physically interchangeable, only fuses of the proper rating should be used.

Medium and large fuses can be removed by hand.

Plastic fuse pullers should be used when removing and installing fuses, avoiding the use of metal objects.

If a replacement fuse fails immediately, you should not replace it again until the cause of the problem, such as a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire, is isolated and corrected.

When replacing blown fuses in a vehicle, it is important to replace them with the correct type and rating of fuses.

If a replacement fuse fails immediately, it should not be replaced again until the underlying issue is identified and resolved, typically due to a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire.

If power is present on one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown, which can also be confirmed visually.

Always check the fuse first. The best way to check a fuse is with a test light.
