Add-On Electrical Equipment
Circuit breakers protect the power  windows and power
seats. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit
breaker opens and closes, protecting  the circuit until the
problem is fixed or goes  away.
Notice:   Don’t add anything electrical to your
vehicle unless you check with  your dealer first.
Some electrical equipment can damage  your
vehicle and the damage wouldn’t  be covered by
your warranty. Some add-on electrical  equipment
can keep other components from  working as
they should.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your  vehicle are protected from
short circuits by a combination  of fuses and circuit
breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires
caused by electrical problems.
Your vehicle has an airbag  system. Before attempting to
add anything electrical to your  vehicle, see Servicing
Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle  on page 1-64.
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 a  fuse blows, see your dealer
for service immediately.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is  protected by an internal
circuit breaker. If the wiper  motor overheats due to
heavy snow, the wipers will  stop until the motor cools
and will then restart.
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. 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.
The fuses are located in  three fuse blocks, one located
in the engine compartment on  the passenger’s side
and the other two under  the rear seat.
