intended to stop the electric fuel pump when your vehicle has been
involved in a substantial jolt.

The fuel pump shut-off switch is
located in the passenger’s foot well,
behind the kick panel.

FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.

Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause

severe wire damage and could start a fire.
