2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV Fuses And Fuse Box | If Blownfuse Is Not Working
When an electrical part in the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV breaks, a blown fuse may be the cause of your irritation. Fuses are an essential part of the electrical system of a car; they act as safety mechanisms, cutting the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit. On the other hand, a blown fuse can cause a number of electrical problems if it is not functioning properly. We will discuss the significance of fixing a blown fuse that has been incorrectly replaced or is not working in this introduction to your 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV. It is essential to comprehend and address this problem if you want to keep the electrical systems in your electric car functional and dependable.
Electrical System
High Voltage Devices and Wiring
Warning
Exposure to high voltage can cause shock, burns, and even death. The high-voltage components in the vehicle can only be serviced by technicians with special training. High-voltage components are identified by labels. Do not remove, open, take apart, or modify these components. High voltage cable or wiring has orange covering or labels. Do not probe, tamper with, cut, or modify high voltage cable or wiring.
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. 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. To check a fuse, look at the band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a fuse of identical size and rating.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
- Turn off the vehicle.
- Locate the fuse puller in the underhood compartment fuse block.
- Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse from the top or side, as shown above.
- If the fuse must be replaced immediately, borrow a replacement fuse with the same amperage from the fuse block. Choose a vehicle feature that is not needed to safely operate the vehicle. Repeat Steps 2-3.
- Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of the blown fuse. At the next opportunity, see your dealer to replace the blown fuse.
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 the wiper control is turned off. After removal of the blockage, the wiper motor will restart when the control is then moved to the desired operating position. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice, may cause wiper 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.
Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked with their ampere rating. Do not exceed the specified amperage rating when replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can result in a vehicle fire. You and others could be seriously injured or killed.
Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not meet GM’s original fuse specifications is dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result in a fire. You or others could be injured or killed, and the vehicle could be damaged.
Underhood Compartment Fuse Block
To open the fuse block cover, press the clips at the side and back and pull the cover-up.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical component on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.
A fuse puller is in the underhood compartment fuse block. The vehicle may not be equipped with all of the fuses, relays, and features shown.

If you replace a blown fuse, but the component remains non-functional, it suggests an underlying issue that may require further diagnosis.
Yes, a blown fuse can affect multiple electrical components, potentially leading to various electrical problems throughout the vehicle.
After replacing a fuse, ensure it’s of the correct amperage rating. Double-check your connections and wiring, and verify that the component itself is not faulty.
Yes, a faulty component or a short circuit in the system can cause fuses to blow repeatedly. Diagnosing and fixing the underlying issue is essential.
The amperage rating on fuses indicates the maximum amount of current they can handle before breaking the circuit. Always use the correct amperage-rated fuse.
Insert the fuse puller over the blown fuse, squeeze the handles together, and gently pull the fuse out of its socket.
It’s not recommended to use a higher amperage fuse, as it can lead to electrical system damage or fires. Always replace with the same amperage fuse.
Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or a dealership for information on the correct amperage rating for a specific fuse.
After replacing a blown fuse with a new one, the circuit should automatically reset, restoring power to the affected electrical component.
For safety, it’s generally a good practice to disconnect the vehicle’s battery when working with fuses to prevent accidental electrical shorts.
Yes, you can often find a fuse diagram in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or by searching online for a Bolt EV fuse box diagram specific to your model year.
Common electrical issues can vary, but blown fuses can affect various electrical components. Other issues may include charging or power-related problems.
