The truck's wiring is protected from short circuits by fuses, breakers, and fusible thermal links. The above table shows what amperage fuse should be used, with each respective circuit. In a pinch, a lower amperage fuse can be used to replace a higher amperage fuse. NEVER replace a fuse with a higher amperage fuse. SEVERE wiring
damage can occur.
In-line fuses are located in the auxiliary heater circuits,
under hood lamp, and front and rear A/C circuits.
Circuit breakers
Headlamp and parking lamp circuit Amps: 15, Location: light switch
Tailgate window motor Amps: 30, Location: under dash
In addition to a fuse, the Headlamp
circuits are protected by the Circuit Breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload on the breaker will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. The windshield wiper motor is also protected by a circuit breaker. If the motor overheats, due to overloading caused by heavy snow, etc., the wipers will remain stopped until the motor cools.
The following wiring harnesses are protected by a "fusible link" which is a
special wire incorporated in the circuits:
