The engine compartment fusebox contains two types of fuses:

• Blade Type Fuse - Conventional pull out male type fuse used to protect circuits between 5 and 30 amps.
• J-case Fuse - A square pull-out fuse used to protect circuits from 30 to 50 amps.

The A-pillar fusebox contains conventional blade type fuses only and three PCB type relays which are integral to the fusebox and cannot be replaced. The PCB relays control the Rear wiper, heated rear window and the cigarette lighter.
