Add-On Electrical Equipment

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.

Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting 
to add anything electrical to your vehicle, see “Servicing
Your Air Bag

-

Equipped Vehicle” in the Index.

Power Windows and Other 
Power Accessories

Circuit breakers in the rear electrical center 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.

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.

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.

You will find a fuse puller clipped in both of the bussed
electrical centers. Snap the wide end of the fuse puller at
the side indentations and pull the fuse out.

The MaxiFuses are located in two Bussed Electrical
Centers (BEC), one located near the engine compartment
on the passenger’s side and the other under the rear seat
on the driver’s side. If a MaxiFuse should blow, have
your vehicle serviced by your dealer immediately.
