IF A FUSE BLOWS

GENERALITIES fig. 37

The fuse is a protective device for the

electric system: it comes into action (i.e.

it cuts off) mainly due to a fault or im-

proper action on the system.

Check the efficiency of the corresponding

fuse when a device does not work: the

conducting element A must not be inter-

rupted. If it is, replace the blown fuse with

another with the same amperage (same

colour).

B intact fuse.

C fuse with damaged filament.

To replace a fuse use tweezers D, hooked

inside the fuse compartment cover on the

left side of the dashboard.

To identify the  protection fuse, see the

tables in the following pages.

❒ open the bulb cover B-fig. 36 and re-

place the snap-fitted bulb C;

❒ re-close the bulb cover B on the lens;

❒ reinstall the ceiling light properly in-

serting it into its seat on one side first,

and then pressing the other side until it

clicks into position.
