Fuses and Circuit Breakers
If the vehicle is a hybrid, see the hybrid supplement for more information.
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers and fusible thermal links.
This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don't have a spare fuse, you can borrow one that has the same amperage. Just pick some feature of your vehicle that you can get along without – like the radio or cigarette lighter – and use its fuse, if it is the correct amperage.
Replace it as soon as you can.
