Checking and Replacing Fuses

The fuses are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is damaged. If any of the electrical components do not operate, a fuse may have blown. If this happens, check and replace the fuses as necessary.

• Switch off the headlights, the ignition, and all electrical consumers.
• Open the appropriate fuse box.
• See diagrams below for details about which fuse to check.
• Remove the fuse using the plastic tweezers located on the fuse box cover.
• Check if the fuse is blown – if the thin metal strip inside is broken, the fuse has blown.
• If the fuse is blown, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage (same color and same imprint) and the same overall size.
• Replace the cover.

WARNING
High voltage systems in the engine compartment can cause electrical shocks, severe burns, and even death!

• Never touch ignition cables. Never touch other components of the high voltage electronic ignition system.
• Avoid short circuits in the electrical system.
  
• Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amp rating. Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage (same color and same imprint) and same overall size.
• Never repair fuses.
• Never replace fuses with a metal strip, a paper clip, or a similar object.
