The vehicle's electrical circuits are protected by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers and fuse links. The fuse box is located under the instrument panel on the left side, in the electrical wiring. The latest models are also equipped with a service center located next to the fuse box and containing certain components such as the horn relay and alarm.
Each fuse is installed to protect its own circuit, which one is indicated on the fuse panel itself.
Miniature fuses are mounted in the block. These fuses "knife" type, they are convenient to take out and replace with your fingertips. If any circuit component fails, always check the fuse first. A blown fuse is easy to identify visually: any damage can be seen through its transparent case. If it becomes necessary to check the conductivity of the circuit, then the tips "knife" terminals are easy to find on the fuse body.
When replacing a fuse, make sure that the type of the new fuse matches the one that was blown. Physically, all fuses are interchangeable, but only the type required should be used. It is not recommended to install fuses of a larger or smaller value, because. Every electrical circuit requires a certain degree of protection. The current value of each fuse is marked on its body.
If the replaced fuse blows immediately, do not replace it again until the cause of the fault has been identified and corrected. In most cases, the cause is a short circuit in the wiring caused by a worn or broken wire.
