Electrical System

Electrical System Overload

The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to protect against an electrical system overload. When the current electrical load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems. Fuses and circuit breakers protect power devices in the vehicle. Replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. If there is a problem on the road and a fuse needs to be replaced, the same amperage fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature of the vehicle that is not needed to use and replace it as soon as possible.

Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if the lamps go on and off or remain off.

Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop until the motor cools and will then restart. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the windshield before using the windshield wipers. If the overload is caused by an electrical problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get it fixed.

Fuses and Circuit Breakers

The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems. To check a fuse, look at the silver-coloured band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. Fuses of the same amperage can be temporarily borrowed from another fuse location if a fuse goes out. Replace the fuse as soon as possible. To identify and check fuses, circuit breakers, and relays, see Engine Compartment Fuse Block on pages 10‑34, Instrument Panel Fuse Block on pages 10‑37, and Rear Compartment Fuse Block on pages 10‑40.

How to Replace Fuse in 2013 Cadillac ATS

Materials Required:

1. Replacement Fuses: Ensure you have the correct replacement fuses for the ones you’re replacing.
2. Fuse Puller Tool or Needle-Nose Pliers: To safely remove the blown fuse without damaging it.
3. Flashlight: To illuminate the fuse box area, especially if it’s located in a dimly lit area.

Instructions:

1. Locate the Fuse Box: The fuse box in the 2013 Cadillac ATS is typically located in one of the following places:
   • Under the hood: Look for a rectangular black box with a removable lid. It’s usually located near the battery or on one of the fender wells.
   • Inside the cabin: The interior fuse box is often located under the dashboard on the driver’s side or in the side panel of the dashboard.
2. Turn Off the Vehicle: Before replacing any fuse, ensure the vehicle’s ignition is turned off to prevent electrical shorts or accidents.
3. Inspect the Fuse: Use the flashlight to inspect the fuse visually. Blown fuses typically have a broken metal strip or appear discolored compared to intact fuses.
4. Remove the Blown Fuse: Use the fuse puller tool or needle-nose pliers to grip the blown fuse firmly and pull it straight out of its socket. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fuse box or surrounding components.
5. Insert the Replacement Fuse: Take a new fuse of the same amperage rating and carefully insert it into the empty fuse socket. Ensure it’s pushed in securely.
6. Close the Fuse Box Lid: If the fuse box has a lid, close it securely to protect the fuses from dirt, moisture, and accidental contact.
7. Test the Electrical Component: After replacing the fuse, turn on the vehicle’s ignition and test the electrical component associated with the replaced fuse to ensure it’s functioning properly.

Tips:

• Always use replacement fuses with the same amperage rating as the blown fuse. Using fuses with higher or lower ratings can cause electrical issues or damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.
• If you’re unsure which fuse is causing the issue, you can systematically check and replace each fuse, starting with those related to the malfunctioning component.
• If a newly replaced fuse blows immediately after replacement, it indicates a more significant electrical problem that may require professional diagnosis and repair.
• Periodically check and replace fuses as part of your vehicle’s maintenance routine to prevent unexpected electrical failures.
