components don’t work and the fuses in 
the cabin are OK, inspect the fuse block 
under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it must 
be replaced. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the ignition switch and all 

other switches.

2. Remove the fuse block cover.

3. If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new 

one 

of the same rating

.

Always replace a fuse with one of the 
same rating. Otherwise you may 
damage the electric system.
