Vehicle Care
To replace one of these bulbs:
Fuses and circuit breakers protect the wires
that provide the power to the devices in
your vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse
needs to be replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature
of the vehicle that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the
fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad
fuse with a fuse of the identical size and
rating.
3. Replace the bulb and reverse Step 2 to
reinstall.
1. Remove the two screws and lift off the

and pull it straight out.
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to
protect against an electrical system
overload.
3. Pull the bulb straight out from the
socket.
License Plate Lamp
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the current load
returns to normal or the problem is fixed.
This greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems.
To replace the bulb:
1. Reach behind the rear bumper and locate
the bulb.
2. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise
and pull the bulb straight out of the
socket.
