Note: for removing and installing type fuses "A" use a special puller "tweezers".
The fuses are rated to blow before all wiring is damaged in the event that an overload occurs in the electrical circuits from the battery.
Note: Before replacing fuses, determine the cause of the electrical overload and make any necessary repairs.
Caution: Do not use wire instead of fuses, even for temporary installations, as this may cause damage to the electrical system and cause a fire.
1. To change the fuse, turn off the ignition.
2. Open the relay and fuse box and determine which element is burned out. Chapter "Body electrical equipment" possible locations of relay and fuse boxes in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment are also shown.
Note: The fuse box cover lists the names of the electrical circuits and the characteristics of the fuses.
The location of the fuse boxes in the engine compartment.
The location of the fuse box in the passenger compartment.
Location of fuses in the engine compartment (sedan).
Location of fuses in the engine compartment (station wagon).
The location of the fuses in the passenger compartment.
3. Install only a fuse with the ampere rating indicated on the cover of the fuse box.
4. If there is no spare fuse, then in critical situations, you can remove the fuse from a position that is not necessary for the normal movement of the car, and use it if their rating matches the necessary one. Note: Do not use a fuse with a higher current rating or any other items (For example, "bugs") instead of a blown fuse. This can cause more serious damage up to a fire.
5. If you do not have a fuse with a nominal value, then you should use a fuse with a lower value, as close as possible to the nominal value.
Note: It is recommended to keep a set of spare fuses in the vehicle.
6. If the new fuse blows immediately, this indicates a malfunction in the electrical system.
