Fuses
1. The fuses are located in a group mounted behind the cover in the lower left corner of the panel. The cover indicates the details of the fuse location, the circuits protected and the rated current.
2. Fuses are of the plate type and are color coded to indicate their rated current.
3. Never install a fuse with a higher current than specified, do not wrap them with foil or stranded wires.
Fusible links
4. Some circuits not normally protected by fuses are protected by fusible links. These resemble normal wires, but with very thick insulation. The main links are mounted in a holder on the left inner wing panel, behind the battery, but there may be additional links installed in the positive battery cable.
5. To replace the insert, disconnect the connector and remove it.
6. A damaged fuse link indicates serious damage to the wiring or system that must be repaired before replacing the link.
7. Never connect wires to the fuse link directly.
Reverse current relay
8. The central locking, sunroof, power window, front seat heater and power support circuits are protected by one of two cylindrical reverse current relays located behind the panel, between the steering column and the fuse panel.
9. Normally, the reverse current relay will return to normal mode automatically after the electrical overload in the relay is eliminated. If the circuit does not turn on, check it immediately.
