Electronic circuit of the vehicle is protected by fuses, circuit breakers and fusible links; one fuse block is located under a cover that can be easily accessed by opening the driver's door and labelled fuse identification is placed beneath the cover. Also, there is a fuse and relay block referred as as Power Distribution Center (PDC) located on the left-hand side portion of the engine compartment near the radiator upper support and which also contains fuses as well as relays. Every fuse, relay or circuit breaker protects one or the other circuit, but the many circuits and fuses are labeled on the underside of the PDC or fuse block cover. Blade terminal design fuses are installed in fuse block to ease the miniaturization and removal and replacement by the use of fingers; identification of a faulty fuse in the fuse block can be done by checking the clear plastic element to find if it has been damaged. Blown fuses must always be replaced with correct type and rating, because, although fuses that have distinct physical differences may be of different ratings, the correct type should be used for each circuit which is protected by fuses, with the amperage value molded into the body of black colored fuses. In case a fuse after replacement blows off immediately, it should not be replaced again before the actual cause is understood most commonly due to short circuit in the wiring from a break in the wire or if it has worn off.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle have some protection from fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links, of which the fuse block can be found under the instrument panel on the left-side of the dashboard. The later models also have the power distribution center in the engine bay which is simply the fuses and relays. The above fuse is designed to protect various circuits and these are usually specified on the fuse panel. Compact fuses with a blade terminal design allow the user to easily twist with the fingertips to pop out the fuse and insert a new one. In cases when an electrical component stopped working, one need to check the fuse as it can give an instant result being a transparent plastic case with the element visible for inspection. In a case more continuity test is required it can be checked up through the exposed parts of the blade terminals in the fuse body. When fuses are being replaced, it is recommended that only the correct type be used as fuses of different rating appear physically similar though only those with the correct rating guarantee enough protection for a given electrical circuit. The amperage value is made to stand out against the plastic of the fuse body. If the fuse blows and a new one is put in place and it blows as soon as it is energized, it should NOT be replaced again until the problem leading to the use of a new fuse has been ascertained as being as a result of a short circuit due to badly connected or old wiring.
