The central timer module (CTM) is located in the back of the main central fusebox and contains time control elements for the heated rear window, interior lights, and intermittent wiper operation. It also activates a warning buzzer or chime when the vehicle lights are left on or if a vehicle with automatic transmission is not parked in position P.

If power is present on one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown.

Each fuse protects one or more circuits.

The fuse block is located below the left side of the dash. Later models have two fuse blocks - one for standard fuses located under the instrument panel on the left side of the dashboard and one for high current fuses in the engine compartment, adjacent to the battery.

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.

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

The engine fuse block is mounted just behind the power distribution box and contains miniaturized fuses.

Two types of fuses are used, depending on the date of manufacture. Early models use a glass tube design, while later models use miniaturized fuses with a blade terminal design.

A blown fuse can be confirmed visually by inspecting it.

A blown fuse is easily identified through the clear plastic body. Visually inspect the element for evidence of damage.

The fuse panel is located under the dash behind an access door on the left side of the steering column.

To replace a fuse, first turn the ignition switch OFF. Grasp the push-in type fuse with the provided tool, or a pair of needle-nose pliers. Look through the side of the fuse body to determine if the fuse element is blown. Check the amperage rating of the fuse which was removed and obtain a new fuse of the same rating. Align the fuse with its mounting position and push it into place until fully seated in the panel. Turn the ignition switch on and operate the accessory that was protected by that fuse.

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

In most cases, this will be a short circuit in the wiring caused by a broken or deteriorated wire.

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

Miniaturized fuses are used because their compact dimensions and convenient blade-type terminal design allow fingertip removal and installation.
