The electrical circuits of this vehicle are safeguarded by a combination of fuses, fusible links, and circuit breakers, with later models featuring two separate fuse blocks, the fuse panel, which can be found under the dash behind the access door in an area of left side of the steering column and the power distribution box is mounted in the engine compartment in the left side fender apron. The fuse block consists of miniature fuse units, each of which is easily insertable or removable, and each of which covers one or more circuits, though labeled on the cover of the fuse panel. If there is an electrical component failure, the fuse should be checked; the simplest way was found to be use of a test light which was connected between an exposed terminal point and another terminal, if the test light glows and at the same time, if power is felt at the exposed terminal tips, then the fuse is blown; this can also be ascertained by visual inspection. Fuses have to be pulled out and inserted vertically so as not to twist the terminals; moreover, blown fuses should be replaced with the fuse of the correct type and the correct amperage as using the wrong fuse is dangerous due to the protection characteristics of each circuit. The amperage value is usually printed on the fuse body as a red strip and it is unsafe to replace a fuse while the car is on and with any electrical system on; it is extremely dangerous to bypass a fuse with metal or foil. If the fuse blows as soon as it is replaced, a fuse should not be put back in until the problem, commonly a short circuit resulting from cracked or otherwise damaged wire, is fixed.

Fusible links are used in circuits that are not ordinarily fused or which carry high current, such as the circuit between the alternator and the battery.

The best way to check the fuses is with a test light. Check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present at one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. A blown fuse can also be identified by visually inspecting it, as the element between the terminals melts.

Do not replace it again until the cause of the problem is isolated and corrected, which is often due to a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire.

Twisting could force the terminal open too far, resulting in a bad connection.

Miniaturized fuses are employed in the fuse block. These compact fuses use blade-type terminals and can be removed and installed without any special tools.

Disconnect the cable to the negative battery terminal before replacing high current fuses.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links.

If the replacement fusible link blows in the same circuit, make sure that you troubleshoot the circuit in which the fusible link melted before installing another fusible link.

The best way to check a fuse is with a test light. Check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present on one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown.

If the replacement fuse immediately fails, don't replace it again until the cause of the problem is isolated and corrected, as it is often due to a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire.

In earlier models, the fuses are tubular glass body types, while in later models, miniaturized fuses with blade terminal design are employed.

If the replacement fuse immediately fails, do not replace it again until the cause of the problem (a short circuit) is isolated and corrected.

Fusible links are used in circuits carrying high current or those not ordinarily fused, found in the engine compartment fuse/relay box. They look similar to large fuses.

Fusible links are designed to melt if the circuit is subjected to more current than it was designed to carry.

Miniaturized fuses feature a blade terminal design that allows for easy fingertip removal and replacement.

Never bypass a fuse with pieces of metal or foil as it could cause serious damage to the electrical system.

These compact fuses allow fingertip removal and replacement.

Miniaturized fuses with a blade terminal design are employed in both the passenger compartment fuse block and the power distribution box.

Pry open the plastic cover at the left end of the instrument panel (access with the driver's door open).

Fusible links appear to be a heavier gauge due to the thick insulation, but they are actually several wire gauges smaller than the wire they are designed to protect.
