When replacing fuses, make sure that the replacement fuse matches the old one by type. Fuses rated for different amperage may appear identical, so special attention should be paid to the markings. Replacing a blown fuse with one rated for a lower - and especially higher - current is not advisable. Each electrical circuit requires a different level of protection. Make sure that the marking on the fuse body corresponds to the current strength for which the corresponding circuit is designed.
If a replaced fuse blows immediately, it is not wise to continue replacing it. First, you need to identify and eliminate the reason for its knocking out. In most cases, this turns out to be a short circuit in the circuit's electrical wiring, caused by a break or damage to the wire insulation.
The fuse breaks the electrical circuit when the current reaches the set value. In this way, the consumer and its circuit are protected from damage. In the event of a short circuit, for example, the fuse melts, protecting the circuit.
Relay location
The same for all versions, regardless of the year of manufacture. The functional purpose of fuses is different.

The main fuses and relays are located in a box similar to the one shown in the illustration. Here it is also necessary to differentiate between blocks depending on engine models and years of production.
Location of fuses in the block
The same for all versions, regardless of the year of manufacture. The functional purpose of fuses is different.

The illustration shows the fuses cars produced until the end of 1995. The rated current of the fuses is given. Fuses protect the following circuits:
- 1 - F10E, rated current 10 A, left headlight, beam range adjustment, high beam indicator lamp
- 2 - F9E, rated current 15 A, right headlight, low beam
- 3 - F8E, rated current 15 A, fog light
