The vehicle's electrical circuits are covered by a mixture of fuses, circuit breakers and fusible links. The fuse block can be seen beneath the instrument panel on the left side of dashboard. Every one fuse covers a particular circuit and these circuits are indicated on the fuse itself. The miniature fuses are used in the fuse block with blade terminal design for fast removal and installation with fingers. Always check if the fuse has blown whenever an electrical component fails to work properly. A test light is the best method of checking fuses. You should see whether each fuse has power at its exposed terminal tips or not. When there is power on one side of the fuse but none on the other, it means that this device is blown out. This can also be visually observed when it happens to occur. Remember that broken fuses have to be replaced using correct types only. Fuses will physically fit into any rated slot; however, you must use only those which suit specific ratings accordingly! It's not recommended replacing a higher or lower value than specified fuse thereon! Each electrical circuit requires some amount of protection against overloads or short circuits caused by damaged wiring or components which fail due to age or accident.

If the fuse element is broken, replace the fuse with one of equal current rating.

The best way to check the fuses is with a test light. Check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present at one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. A blown fuse can also be identified by visually inspecting it.

Fusible links are used in circuits that are not typically fused, such as the alternator circuit. On some vehicles, the alternator circuit runs from the battery to the underhood fuse box and then to an inline 200 amp fusible link.
