Maintenance and Care

Owner Maintenance

Form No. 8R29-EA-02I

Your vehicle’s electrical system is 
protected by fuses.

If any lights, accessories, or controls don’t 
work, inspect the appropriate circuit 
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside 
element will be melted.

If the same fuse blows again, avoid using 
that system and consult an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

Fuse Replacement

If the electrical system doesn’t work, first 
inspect fuses on the vehicle’s left side.

1. Turn off the ignition switch and other 

switches.

2. Open the fuse panel cover.

3. Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse 

puller provided on the fuse block.

4. Inspect it and replace if it’s blown.

5. Push in a new fuse of the same rating, 

and make sure it fits tightly. If it 
doesn’t, have an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer install it.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one 
of the same rating from a circuit not 
essential to vehicle operation, such as 
the SPARE circuit.
