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.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses
- Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF (LOCK). Turn the headlights and all accessories off.
- Remove the fuse box cover.
- 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.
- If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw and replace it with a new one.
- 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.
- If there is a blown fuse, remove it with the fuse puller and replace it with a new one.
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.
FAQ
Fuses in the 2023 Honda Passport serve as protective devices that prevent electrical circuits from overloading and causing damage to electrical components.
The fuses in the Passport are typically located in the interior fuse box and the engine compartment fuse box.
The interior fuse box is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. You can access it by opening the driver’s side door and removing the cover panel.
The engine compartment fuse box is typically located near the battery in the engine bay.
The 2023 Passport typically uses blade-type fuses, also known as mini fuses and standard-sized fuses, depending on the application.
You can refer to the owner’s manual or the fuse box cover for a fuse diagram and labeling that indicates which fuse corresponds to each electrical component.
If a fuse blows or becomes faulty, it needs to be replaced with a new one of the same amperage rating. It’s essential to address the underlying issue that caused the fuse to blow to prevent further problems.
Yes, you can often visually inspect a fuse to see if the metal wire inside is intact or if it’s broken, indicating a blown fuse.
Yes, many vehicles, including the Passport, come with spare fuses in the fuse box or a dedicated fuse compartment for emergency replacement.
It is not advisable to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, as it may not provide adequate protection for the electrical circuit. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same amperage rating.
The fuse puller tool is designed to safely and easily remove fuses from the fuse box when replacement is necessary.
Yes, the Passport typically has separate fuse boxes—one for interior components and one in the engine compartment for exterior and high-amperage components.
Yes, each fuse is dedicated to protecting a specific electrical circuit, such as those for headlights, audio systems, power windows, and other components.
Yes, the owner’s manual often includes a list of common electrical components and their associated fuses, making it easier to identify and replace a faulty fuse.
If an electrical issue persists after fuse replacement, it may indicate a deeper electrical problem. In such cases, it’s advisable to consult a Honda dealership or a certified mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and repair.
