   5.   Insert a new fuse of the same amperage 

rating, and make sure it fi ts tightly. If 
it does not fi t tightly, have an expert 
install it. We recommend an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer.

If you have no spare fuses, borrow one 
of the same rating from a circuit not 
essential to vehicle operation, such as 
the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.

CAUTION

  Always replace a fuse with a genuine 
Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same 
rating. Otherwise you may damage 
the electric system.

   6.   Reinstall the cover and make sure that 

it is securely installed.

  Replacing the fuses under the hood

    If the headlights or other electrical 
components do not work and the fuses 
in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse 
block under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it 
must be replaced. Follow these steps:

   1.   Make sure the ignition is switched off, 

and other switches are off.

   2.   Remove  the  fuse  block  cover.

   3.   If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is 

blown, replace it with a new one

of the 

same amperage rating

 .
