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, Instrument Panel Fuse Block, and Rear Compartment Fuse Block.

Engine Compartment Fuse Block

To remove the fuse block cover, press the clips on the cover and lift it straight up.

Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical component of the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.

How to display the fuses of the 2014 Cadillac XTS 

A 2014 Cadillac XTS’s fuse box must normally be found and accessible to reveal the fuses. Here’s a detailed

1. Where is the Fuse Box
   • The driver’s or passenger’s side of the 2014 Cadillac XTS is typically where the fuse box is located. 
2. Uncover the Fuse Box
   • After locating the fuse box, lift the cover. Certain covers might require unscrewing or have a latch, whereas others might have a straightforward clip or push-button release.
3. Inspect the Fuses
   • Look at each fuse individually. Several tiny, colored plastic boxes with metal ends will be visible. You can determine which fuse in your 2014 Cadillac XTS belongs to a particular electrical component by using the diagram.
4. Inspect for Blown Fuses
   • A broken metal strip within indicates a blown fuse. Pull the fuse out carefully for a closer look if you think it may have blown. Typically, a visible break or color change indicates a blown fuse.
5. Install New Blown Fuses
   • Replace any blown fuses with new ones that have the same amperage rating if you find any. 
6. Close the Fuse Box
   • Tightly shut the cover of the fuse box after replacing any blown fuses.
7. Verify Functionality
   • Switch on the ignition and make sure the electrical parts connected to the fuses you checked are working. Make sure the problem is fixed.
