Pontiac 88909760 Fuse(Package), 5Amps *Tan* (Ato Fuse)

The vehicle's electrical circuits are saved by fuses. When there is an excessive current in the circuit, it will cause the fuse element to melt and thus stop the flow of current. Each Devilles and Fleetwoods have a fuse block that is located under the left hand side of the instrument panel. Also, a 1991-93 model Deville and Fleetwood are equipped with a fuse block that can be found at the rear of the engine compartment. In Eldorado and Sevitte, this is in a glove box behind an access panel. For 1992-98 Eldorado and Seville, there are two fuse blocks, one located on the left side of the engine compartment, on the wheelwell and one located on the side of the trunk. To check whether or not a fuse is blown, remove it from its slot in the fuse block and look for a break in the center of its element wire. Should any break exist in it, replace it with another whose rating is similar to itself. It should also be kept in mind that it is essential to change a blown fuse with that which has got similar type as well as an equal amount of current rating. Installing a higher-rated fuse can lead to vehicle fire or personal injury as well as damages on your car.

Large, high-amperage fuses are utilized instead of traditional fusible links, located in the underhood fuse/relay box.

The best way to check the fuses is with a test light. Check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present at one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. A blown fuse can also be identified by visually inspecting it.

Each fuse is designated for a specific circuit and is identifiable on the fuse panel.

There are different sizes of fuses, including small, medium, and large, all with the same blade terminal design. The medium and large fuses can be removed by hand, but the small fuses require pliers or a fuse-puller tool.

If power is present on one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. This can also be confirmed by visual inspection, as the element between the terminals melts when a fuse blows.
