Fuses and Circuit Breakers
Installation or use of fuses that do not
meet GM’s original fuse specifications is
dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result
in a fire. You or others could be injured
or killed, and the vehicle could be
damaged.
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
Press the clips on the sides and lift the
cover to access the fuse block.

Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may damage
it. Always keep the covers on any
electrical component.
