REPLACING FUSES
General Information
WARNING
- When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appropriate replacement fuse wit h the same amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another fuse of higher amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or any other material. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury, fire and/or property damage.
- Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
- If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
- If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag system, braking system), power unit systems (engine system, transmission system) or steering system blows, contact an authorized dealer.
Your vehicle’s electrical system is protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do not work, inspect the appropriate circuit protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside element will be melted. If the same fuse blows again, go to an authorized dealer a s soon as possible.
Fuse location
Fuses are grouped together in two fuse boxes located in the interior on the left side of the vehicle and under the hood.
Interior Fuses
If the electrical system does not work, firs t inspect the fuses on the vehicle’s left side.
Proceed as follows:
- Make sure the ignition is placed in the OFF mode, and other switches are turned off.
- Open the fuse panel cover (located near the door).
Fuse Panel Cover - Press retaining clip and remove protec-tion cover.
- Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse puller provided on the fuse block locate d in the engine compartment.
- Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is blown.
- Normal Fuse
- Blown Fuse
- Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rating, and make sure it fits tightly. If it does not fit tightly, contact an authorized dealer. If you have no spare fuses, borrow one of the same rating from a circuit no t essential to vehicle operation, such as the audio or outlet circuit.
- Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
NOTE:
Always replace a fuse with a genuine FCA fuse or equivalent of the same rating. Other-wise you may damage the electric system.
Underhood Fuses
If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse block in the engine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced.
Make sure the ignition is placed in the OFF mode, and other switches are turned off an d remove the fuse block cover. If the lock is forcefully opened, the fuse block cover ma y come in contact with the frame when it is removed and become scratched.
When removing the cover, remove it slowly according to the following procedure:
- Disengage the rear lock by pressing down on the front tab with your fingers.
- Lock
- Cover
- Remove the front tab while slightly lifting the front of the cover.
- Remove the cover while lifting it and sliding it to the rear.
- If any fuse but the main fuse is blown , replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating.
- Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.

FAQs
A fuse is a safety feature that guards against overloads and short circuits by interrupting the circuit if too much current is flowing through it.
In a 2020 Fiat 124 Spider, the fuse box is normally found in the engine bay.
Open the hood of the automobile and look for a plastic cover with fuse symbols on it to locate the fuse box. To access the fuses, remove the lid.
The maximum current that may pass through a fuse before it blows is indicated by the fuse ratings. You should replace a blown fuse with one that has the same rating because they are rated in amperes (A).
To check if the metal strip inside the fuse is intact, visually inspect it. The fuse blows if it is broken.
Replace blown fuses with fresh ones of the same rating. To prevent electrical issues, use the proper type of fuse at all times.
Electrical defects, short circuits, overloading of circuits, and faulty parts like a broken audio or headlights are frequent problems.
As long as you adhere to the vehicle’s instructions and safety considerations, it is safe to replace a blown fuse.
No, using a fuse with a higher rating is not advised since it may cause fire or electrical system damage. Use the proper fuse rating at all times.
If a fuse keeps blowing even after being replaced, there can be a deeper electrical issue. For a comprehensive inspection, it is recommended to speak with a professional or a Fiat service shop.
It is not advised to replace a fuse with a circuit breaker unless a qualified mechanic who is familiar with the vehicle’s electrical system does it.
Frequently, different colored fuses signify various amperage ratings. To interpret the colors and amperage values, consult your owner’s manual or the fuse box cover.
No, using a wire or any other temporary fix is risky and may result in electrical fires or electrical system damage to the car. Replace blown fuses with the proper kind at all times.
Electrical shorts, overloaded circuits, broken parts, or damaged wiring are a few typical causes.
To lower the possibility of blown fuses, regularly check and repair the electrical parts of your car. If you keep having problems, get a qualified mechanic to look at the car.
