Location Of Fuses
Fuses are located inside the cab, left side, next to the driver’s
door.
Fuse Replacement
CAUTION: Before replacing a fuse, turn OFF all
lights and accessories and remove the ignition
key to avoid damaging the electrical system.
• Be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the correct
rating.
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep on replacing it.
The cause of the short circuit or overload must be found
and eliminated.
CAUTION: Never patch fuses with tin foil or wire.
This may cause serious damage elsewhere in
the electrical circuit, and it may cause a fire.
See the Medium Duty Maintenance Manual for instructions
on fuse replacement.

For proper electrical system performance, refer to a wiring
diagram for your chassis before adding electrical options.
