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
lamp assembly.
Electrical System
2. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise
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.

4. If the fuse must be replaced
immediately, spare fuses are also
provided on the instrument panel end
cap or borrow a replacement fuse with
the same amperage from the fuse block.
Choose a vehicle feature that is not
needed to safely operate the vehicle.
Repeat Steps 2-3.
5. Insert the replacement fuse into the
empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your dealer to
replace the blown fuse.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
1. Turn off the vehicle.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps
to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the lamps go on and
off or remain off.
2. Locate the fuse puller on the instrument
panel end cap. See the Instrument Panel
Fuse Block (Left) 0 365 or
Instrument Panel Fuse Block (Right)
0 367.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy
snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy
snow or ice may cause wiper linkage
3. Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse
from the top or side, as shown above.

damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windshield before using the
windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an electrical
problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get
it fixed.
Warning
{
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
Installation or use of fuses that do not
meet GM’s original fuse specifications is
dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result
in a fire. You or others could be injured
or killed, and the vehicle could be
damaged.
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
Press the clips on the sides and lift the
cover to access the fuse block.
Danger
{
Caution
See Accessories and Modifications 0 333 and
General Information 0 333.
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked
with their ampere rating. Do not exceed
the specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use
of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can
result in a vehicle fire. You and others
could be seriously injured or killed.
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may damage
it. Always keep the covers on any
electrical component.
To check or replace a blown fuse, see
Electrical System Overload 0 360.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the
Duramax diesel supplement.
A fuse puller is available in the left
instrument panel end cap.
The vehicle may not be equipped with all of
the fuses, relays, and features shown.
The engine compartment fuse block is in the
engine compartment, on the passenger side
of the vehicle.

Underinflated tires pose the same
danger as overloaded tires. The
resulting crash could cause serious
injury. Check all tires frequently to
maintain the recommended
pressure. Tire pressure should be
checked when the tires are cold.
