ryostyle Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 it doesn't even get hot. and how do i get to the fuses? sorry, i'm really a novice at cars.... Look under the parking break release and above the car pedals on the left (towards the door). You'll see a fuse panel cover. Pull the cover and look at the diagram on the cover. There is a fuse designated for that circuit. Pull it, see if its blown, if so replace it with a fuse of the same voltage as dictated on the fuse itself.

It can save you hours...trust me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
