To determine whether or not a fuse has blown,
rem ove the suspec t fuse and exam ine the element
in the fuse for a break.
NOTE:
A blown fus e is caused by a fault. Replace a blown
fuse only with a fuse of the same rating. If the
replacement fuse blows, rectify the fault before
replacing the fuse again.
Fuses are located in two positions on VT Series
Models. One group is located in the fuse and relay
panel assembly, inside the vehicle passenger
compartment, behind the instrument panel lower
right hand side cover.
Access to the passenger compartment fuse and
relay panel assembly is by first adjusting the
steering column to it’s upper most position. Then
grasping the right hand side of the ins tr ument panel
lower cover firmly, pull the cover downward. Repeat
the procedure for the left hand side of the cover
and then allow it to swing down.
A label on the inside of the cover indicates the
circuits protected by each fuse, as well as
nominating relay function.
When reinstalling the cover, ensure that the
locating clips are correctly aligned, swing cover up
and ensure that the clips engage into their mating
retainers securely. Figure 12N-2
Fig. 12N-3 illustrates the passenger compartment
fuse and relay panel assembly, nominating fuse
number and each system protected by that fuse.
On vehicles with power operated windows, a 20
amp circuit breaker is installed in the passenger
compartment fuse and relay panel assembly at
fuse c avity F1. An additional 20 amp c irc uit br eaker
is included at fuse cavity F2 for the electrically
adjustable front seat operation.
A circuit break er is a c ircuit protec tion device which
will open circuit when the circuit c ur rent ex c eeds its
rating, and will close again after it cools.
The circuit breaker will continue to open and close
until the cause of the excess current is corrected.
