The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers, with two fuse blocks located under the instrument panel and on the right side of the engine compartment; the interior fuse box is under the left side of the instrument panel, while the engine compartment fuse box is in the right rear corner. Each fuse is designed to protect specific circuits, which are identified on the fuse panel. Miniaturized fuses with blade terminal design allow for easy fingertip removal and replacement, and if an electrical component fails, checking the fuse is the first step. To check, turn the ignition key to the On position and use a test light to probe each exposed terminal; if the test light glows on both terminals, the fuse is good, but if power is available on one side only, the fuse is blown, which can be visually confirmed through the clear plastic body. Blown fuses should be replaced with the correct type, as fuses of different ratings are interchangeable but using the proper rating is essential for adequate protection. If a replacement fuse fails immediately, the underlying issue, often a short circuit due to a damaged wire, should be addressed before replacing it again. All models have a main fuse (either 80A or 100A) that protects all circuits from the battery, and if overloaded, it blows to prevent damage to the wiring harness; this fuse is visibly melted when overloaded and should be replaced with an equivalent unit after disconnecting the battery, taking care to avoid switching amperage ratings.

Fuses can be replaced or removed simply by pulling them out of their retaining clips.

Fusible links are identified by the color coding of the insulation.
