Type A fuses can be pulled out by the
pull−out tool. The location of the pull−out
tool is shown in the illustration.
If the new fuse immediately blows out,
there is a problem with the electrical sys-
tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as
soon as possible.
If you are not sure whether the fuse has
blown, try replacing the suspected fuse
with one that you know is good.
CAUTION
83p004a
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse
into the clip.
Never use a fuse with a higher am-
perage rating, or any other object, in
place of a fuse. This may cause ex-
tensive damage and possibly a fire.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rat-
ing designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an
emergency you can pull out the “DOME”
or “OBDII” fuse, which may be dispens-
able for normal driving, and use it if its
amperage rating is the same.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work, check the
fuses. If any of the fuses are blown,
they must be replaced.
If you cannot use one of the same amper-
age, use one that is lower, but as close
as possible to, the rating. If the amperage
is lower than that specified, the fuse
might blow out again. but this does not
indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get
the correct fuse as soon as possible and
return the substitute to its original clip.
See “Fuse locations” on page 201 in Sec-
tion 8−1 for locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inoperative
component off. Pull a suspected fuse
straight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing the
problem. The lid of the fuse box shows
the name of the circuit for each fuse. See
page 237 in Section 9 for the functions
controlled by each circuit.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of
spare fuses and keep them in your ve-
hicle for emergencies.
