Chevrolet is an American automobile company and a part of General Motors. The

Chevy has a wide range of high-performance cars to offer. From family cars to SUVs to
pickup trucks, the company specialises in all sorts of vehicles.
Chevrolet cars are made for maximum comfort and long-lasting service. But in this post,
we are to talk about the Chevrolet Silverado range of trucks.
Chevrolet Silverado I: 1999 to 2007
Chevrolet Silverado I is the first-generation range of trucks manufactured by General
Motors under the Chevrolet brand. This model was first manufactured in 1999 and it
continued till 2007. This is a fairly old truck model, but you can still spot some of them
in the market.
Chevrolet Silverado I is a full-size pickup truck that was first introduced in the late 90s.
They featured a classy look and was made for light-duty purposes. These light-duty
trucks were available in three cab lengths.
For the first year, the company released only the regular cab and a 3-door extended cab
model. In 2000, they added a driver’s side door option in the extended cab. This means
the car had four doors. It was equipped with a 5.3-liter engine.
In 2003, the makers introduced a rework version of the Silverado. This time they had to
change the front and also made a few changes in the rear. In 2006, the truck received a
facelift which was similar to the HD version.
Chevrolet Silverado trucks are powerful and come with a lot of features. The Silverado
series are run across four generations, before the company stopped production.
The fuse block access door
is on the driver’s side edge
of the instrument panel. Pull
off the cover to access the
fuse block. You can remove fuses with a fuse extractor which is
mounted to the fuse block access door.
To remove fuses
if you don’t have a fuse extractor, hold the end of the
fuse between your thumb and index finger and pull
straight out. You may have spare fuses located behind the fuse block
access door. These can be used to replace a bad fuse.
However, make sure it is of the correct amperage.
