INSPECTION

1. Check for a burnt relay with an ohmmeter.




2. If a relay burns out, there is a short or some other problem in the circuit. Carefully determine the cause and correct it before replacing the relay.

INSPECTION OF FUSES
When a fuse is blown, there are two probable causes. The two causes can easily be determined by a visual check after removing the fuses.




1. Fuse blown due to over-current
Prior to replacing the fuse with a new one, check the circuit for a short and the related parts for abnormal conditions.

Only after the correction of a short or replacement of abnormal parts, should a fuse with the same ampere rating be installed.







2. Fuse blown due to repeated on-off current
Normally, this type of problem occurs after a fairly long period of use, and is less frequent than #1 above. In this case, you may simply replace with a new fuse of the same capacity.

WARNING: A blade type fuse is Identified by the numbered value In amperes. If the fuse is blown, be sure to replace a fuse with the same ampere rating. If a fuse of higher capacity than specified is used, parts may be damaged and a danger of fire exists. To remove or insert a fuse, use the fuse puller in the fuse box.
