Contents: Replacing the fuse ⇓ Battery ⇓
To prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuit or overload, each individual electrical circuit is equipped with a fuse.
Fuse boxes are located in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment (some models).
The fuse rating and the name of the electrical circuit that the fuse protects are indicated on the inside of the fuse box.
Note: Spare fuses are located in the box. When replacing fuses, make sure that their characteristics match.
Replacing the fuse
Before replacing a fuse, be sure to turn off the electrical circuit that the fuse protects and turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position (blocking).
Remove the fuse box cover.
Check the fuse that protects the faulty circuit using the fuse rating table.
The fuse box cover has a special tool (puller) for removing fuses.
Using a fuse puller, remove the fuse you believe to be blown from the unit by pulling it straight up. The wire inside the fuse is easily visible and will be severed if the fuse is blown.
If it has not burned out, then something else is causing the malfunction, and to identify and fix it, contact a specialized service station.
Battery
Using a fuse puller, insert a new fuse of the same rating into the same location in the fuse box where the blown fuse was.
If a recently installed fuse burns out again after a short time, you must contact a specialized workshop to identify the cause of the malfunction and fix it.
