Vehicle Care  
To replace one of these bulbs:  
Fuses and circuit breakers protect the wires  
that provide the power to the devices in  
your vehicle.  
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse  
needs to be replaced, the same amperage  
fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature  
of the vehicle that is not needed to use and  
replace it as soon as possible.  
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the  
fuse. If the band is broken or melted,  
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad  
fuse with a fuse of the identical size and  
rating.  
3. Replace the bulb and reverse Step 2 to  
reinstall.  
1. Remove the two screws and lift off the  
lamp assembly.  
Electrical System

and pull it straight out.  
Electrical System Overload  
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to  
protect against an electrical system  
overload.  
3. Pull the bulb straight out from the

License Plate Lamp  
When the current electrical load is too  
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,  
protecting the circuit until the current load  
returns to normal or the problem is fixed.  
This greatly reduces the chance of circuit  
overload and fire caused by electrical  
problems.  
To replace the bulb:  
1. Reach behind the rear bumper and locate  
the bulb.  
2. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise  
and pull the bulb straight out of the  
socket.
