NOTICE:

Don’t add anything electrical to your vehicle
unless you check with your dealer first. Some

they should.

Headlamp Wiring

The headlamp wiring is protected by an internal circuit
breaker. An electrical overload will cause the lamps 
to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. 
If this happens, have your headlamp system checked
right away.

Windshield Wipers

The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical
problem, be sure to have it fixed.

Power Windows and Other 
Power Accessories

Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or 
goes away.
