Owner Maintenance; Replacing the fuses under the hood; same amperage rating- Page 396

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.

NOTE

If the lock is forcefully opened, the fuse
block cover may come in contact with
the frame when it is removed and
become scratched.
When removing the cover, remove it
slowly according to the following
procedure.
1. Disengage the rear lock by

pressing down on the front tab with
your fingers.

2. Remove the front tab while slightly

lifting the front of the cover.

3. Remove the cover while lifting it

and sliding it to the rear.

3. If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is

blown, replace it with a new one 

of the

same amperage rating

.

Normal

Blown

WARNING

Do not replace the main fuse by
yourself. Have an Authorized Mazda
Dealer perform the replacement:

Replacing the fuse by yourself is
dangerous because the MAIN fuse is a
high current fuse. Incorrect
replacement could cause an electrical
shock or a short circuit resulting in a
fire.

4. Reinstall the cover and make sure that

it is securely installed.
