2023 Honda Passport Fuses

In the complex electrical system of the 2023 Honda Passport, fuses stand guard as sentries, protecting against the dangers of electrical overload and possible damage to the vehicle’s most important parts. These simple but important parts are carefully placed in two key places: the interior fuse box, which is hidden under the dashboard, and the engine compartment fuse box, which is next to the Passport’s power-hungry heart. As protectors for electrical circuits, they are the first line of defense. Each one is carefully set to a certain amperage level to protect the integrity of circuits that control headlights, audio systems, power windows, and many other important functions. Inside the blade-shaped fuse housing, their unbroken filaments show that the electrical paths are still working, while a broken filament shows that the fuse needs to be replaced. As a model of electrical reliability in cars, the Passport’s fuses make sure that the complex music of technology inside stays in perfect harmony, keeping this modern wonder on wheels safe and working.

  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.2023-Honda-Passport-Fuses-fig6

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 the fuse with a spare fuse of the same specified amperage.
There is a fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse box.
