The electric system circuit system is protected by a fuse. If the fuse
burns out, the electric system will not operate.
1. Remove the fuse cover, and inspect the fuse.

If the fuse is burnt out, pull out and discard the burnt-out
fuse. Install a new fuse.
Never use a fuse with a different rating from that specified.
