USER MAINTENANCE: Electrical components
391
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work, check the fuses.
If any of the fuses are blown, they must be
replaced.
Fuse Locations - See "Fuse Locations" on page
363 in Chapter 7–1.
Before checking the fuses, remove the
engine compartment covers. (See "–
Removing Engine Compartment Covers"
on page 361 in Chapter 7–1.)
Turn off the ignition and malfunctioning components.
Pull out the suspect fuse and check it.
Gasoline engine
Determine which fuse might be faulty.
The circuit name for each fuse is displayed on
the fuse box lid. The functions of the individual
electrical circuits are given on page 420 in
chapter 8.
Remove the type A fuses with a puller. The
location of the extractor is shown in the figure.
If you are not sure which fuse is blown, try
replacing the probably faulty fuse with one that
you know is good.
If one of the fuses is blown, insert a new
fuse into the terminal.
Only install a fuse that has the current rating
marked on the fuse box cover.
Diesel engine
If you don't have a spare fuse, in an emergency
you can pull out the "CIG" or "DOME" fuses,
which are expendable in normal driving, and
use them if they have the same current rating.
If you do not have a fuse of the same current
rating, use another one that is weaker but as
close to the required rating as possible. If the
current range is lower than you need, the fuse
may blow again, but this does not signal
anything wrong. Be sure to get the correct fuse
as soon as possible and return it to its original
location.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and
keep them in the vehicle in case of an emergency.
