Notes

• Always replace a blown fuse with a new fuse with the same rating. If the new fuse blows again, there is an electrical problem, typically a short. Do not install a higher-rated fuse.
• Installing a fuse with an ampere rating higher than recommended causes damage and possibly even causes fires if there is a short.
• Remember to turn the ignition OFF when pulling and replacing fuses and relays.
