Replacing fuses
- Turn off the ignition and all consumers.
- Find the fuse corresponding to your receiver in the tables below.
- Remove the appropriate cover.
- If necessary, remove the colored plastic clip from the fuse holder. The plastic clip can then be discarded.
- Remove the clamp from the back of the cover.
- Remove the fuse using pliers.
- A blown fuse should only be replaced with a new one of the same amperage.
If the new fuse blows after a short time, have the electrical installation checked by a specialist workshop as soon as possible.
Attention!
Never repair fuses or replace a blown fuse with a higher amperage fuse. This can damage the electrical system. Fire hazard!
