Inspecting and Changing Fuses

1. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF. Turn headlights and all accessories off.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
   • If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw and replace it with a new one.
4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine compartment and the vehicle interior.
   • If there is a blown fuse, remove it with the fuse puller and replace it with a new one.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses

NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system.
Use the charts to locate the fuse in question and confirm the specified amperage on the fuse label.
Replace with a fuse of the same specified amperage.
There is a fuse puller on the back of the cover of the engine compartment fuse box type A.

How to replace a fuse?

It’s pretty easy to change a fuse, but it’s important to make sure all safety rules are followed. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Find the fuse box.
   • The fuse box is usually in an easy-to-reach place in your home, like the garage, basement, or utility room. It could be outside the house in some situations. It’s usually a grey or metal box with a lid that can be taken off.
2. Turn off Power:
   • Turn off the power to the circuit you’re working on before you touch anything in the fuse box. To do this, flip the breaker in the main electricity panel that goes with it.
3. Find the fuse that is giving you trouble:
   • Find the fuse that needs to be changed and open the fuse box door. Most fuse boxes have a sign or diagram that shows which fuse goes with which circuit.
4. Remove the Old Fuse:
   • Take out the old fuse. Carefully hold the old fuse and pull it straight out of its hole with a fuse puller tool or a pair of needle-nose pliers. There may be a broken wire inside the glass tube if the fuse has blown.
5. Pick out the right replacement fuse:
   • The metal end caps of the old fuse should have an amperage number written on them. To avoid electrical dangers, it’s important to replace it with a fuse that can handle the same amount of current. If you use a fuse with a higher amperage value, the circuit could get too hot and catch fire.
6. Put in the New Fuse:
   • Make sure the new fuse fits properly in the empty hole before plugging it in. Do not push it in; it should just slide in.
7. Close the cover on the fuse box:
   • Once the new fuse is in place, safely close the cover on the fuse box.
8. Install the New Fuse:
   • To fix the problem, go back to the main electrical box and turn the breaker switch back to the “on” position. This will bring power back to the circuit.
9. Test the Circuit:
   • Make sure the electricity problem is fixed by testing the circuit. To do this, turn on any lights or machines that are hooked up to the circuit.
10. Check for Problems:
    • Keep an eye on the circuit for any more problems, like lights flashing or breakers going off. If the problem keeps happening, there may be an electrical problem that needs to be fixed by a professional.

Remember that it’s best to get help from a trained electrician if you’re not sure about any part of the process or if you run into any problems. When dealing with electricity, safety should always come first.
