4 FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

FUSES
All vehicle electrical circuits are protected against damage which might occur because of short circuits or
overloads in the wiring system. Protection is provided by a fuse, circuit breaker or fusible link.
Fuses are the blade type mini-fuse, with the current rating in amps indicated on top of the fuse assembly,
above the element, or by the colour of the fuse.
To determine whether or not a fuse has blown, remove the suspect fuse and examine the element in the
fuse for a break.
NOTE: A blown fuse is caused by a fault. Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same rating. If the
replacement fuse blows, rectify the fault before replacing the fuse again.

Fuses are located in two positions on VX, VU and WH Series II Models. One group is located in the fuse
and relay panel assembly, inside the vehicle passenger compartment, behind the instrument panel lower
right-hand side cover as per VT Series II Models.
For information relating to these fuses, refer to Section 12N FUSES, RELAYS AND WIRING HARNESSES
in the VT Series II Service Information, in conjunction with the information provided in Section12N FUSES,
RELAYS AND WIRING HARNESSES in the VT Series I, VX Series I and WH Series I Service Information.
The second group of fuses is located in the engine
compartment fuse and relay panel assembly,
situated forward of the right-hand side front
suspension strut tower.
Access to the engine compartment fuse and relay
panel assembly is by first depressing the cover
retaining tang (1), refer to Fig. 12N-1 and then
lifting the cover (2) up and out of the panel
assembly.

Fig. 12N-2 illustrates the engine compartment fuse
and relay panel assembly for VX, VU and WH
Series II Models.
Refer to the legend below for nominating fuse
number and each system protected by that fuse.
A label on the inside of the cover indicates the
circuits protected by each fuse, as well as
nominating relay function.
Use the fuse remover in the passenger
compartment fuse and relay panel assembly to
remove these fuses.

FUSIBLE LINKS
The chassis and engine electrical wiring is
protected against short circuit damage by fusible
links.
The fusible links are contained in the engine
compartment fuse and relay panel assembly,
situated forward of the right-hand side front
suspension strut tower.
The fusible links (1) are a plug in type, with an
inspection window (2) which allows a visual check
of the condition of the fusible link element (3). To
determine whether or not a fusible link has blown,
examine the fusible link element for a break.
All fusible links can be easily removed by pulling
them out of their housing sockets. Ensure when Figure 12N-3
installing replacement fusible links that they are
pressed firmly into the correct fuse panel location
NOTE: A blown fusible link is caused by a fault.
Replace a blown fusible link only with a fusible link
of the same current rating. Fusible link current
rating is indicated on top of the assembly, adjacent
to the inspection window. If the replacement fusible
link blows, rectify the fault before replacing the
fusible link again.
Fig. 12N-4 illustrates the fusible link locations in the
engine compartment fuse and relay panel
assembly.
Refer to the legend below for fusible link
identification and circuit protection functions.

 1.5 RELAYS
There are two groups of relays on VX, VU and WH
Series II Models.
One group of relays is located in the passenger
compartment fuse and relay panel assembly, inside
the vehicle passenger compartment, behind the
instrument panel lower right-hand side cover.
A label on the inside of the cover nominates each
relay function as well as indicating the circuits
protected by each fuse.
Additional relays are located in the engine
compartment fuse and relay panel assembly, refer
to Fig. 12N-5. Access to the relays in the engine
compartment fuse and relay panel assembly can
be achieved by removing the panel assembly
cover, refer to Fig. 12N-1.
Refer to the legend below for relay identification.
