2023 Nissan MURANO Fuses and Fuse Box | How to fix a blown fuse
The 2023 Nissan Murano has a complex electricity system that powers different parts of the car. At the heart of this system is the fuse box, an important part that keeps the electrical lines from overheating. It’s best to put the fuse box in the engine bay or the cabin’s interior. It holds some fuses, each of which protects a different electrical function. As a safety measure, fuses break the circuit in the event of a power surge or electrical problem. This keeps sensitive parts from getting damaged. If a fuse blows, the problem must be found by finding the circuit that is affected, the fuse that goes with it, and then replacing it with a new one of the right amperage. It’s important to look at the owner’s manual to get detailed information about where the fuse box is, what the fuse ratings are, and how the circuits work. Fixing a blown switch the right way is an important part of maintaining a 2023 Nissan Murano because it makes sure that many of the car’s features work as they should.

If any electrical equipment does not operate, check for an open fuse.
NOTE:
The fuse box is located on the driver’s side of the instrument panel.
- Be sure the ignition switch and the headlight switch are OFF.
- Pull down on the fuse box cover OA to remove.
- Locate the fuse that needs to be replaced.
- Remove the fuse with the fuse puller
- If the fuse is open OC, replace it with an equivalent good fused
- Push the fuse box cover to install.
If a new fuse also opens, have the electrical system checked and repaired. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
CAUTION
Be careful not to allow children to swallow the battery or remove parts.

NOTE:
Your vehicle may not be equipped with all the fuses listed on the fuse label.
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®
Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as follows:
- Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
- Insert a small flathead screwdriver OA into the slit OB of the corner and twist it to separate the upper part from the lower part. Place a cloth over the screwdriver to protect the casing.
- Replace the battery with a new one. Recommended battery: CR2032 or equivalent.
- Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could cause a malfunction.
- Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points will seriously deplete the storage capacity.
- Make sure that the + side faces the bottom of the lower part.
- Close the lid securely as illustrated with OC and OD.
- Operate the buttons to check the operation.
If you need assistance with replacement, it is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.

FAQs
The fuse box in the 2023 Nissan Murano is designed to protect electrical components by housing fuses that will blow if there is a surge in current, preventing damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.
The 2023 Nissan Murano typically has two fuse boxes: one in the engine compartment and another inside the vehicle, often located near the driver’s side.
Symptoms of a blown fuse may include malfunctioning lights, electrical accessories not working, or specific components failing to operate.
The specific location and function of fuses can vary, but typically, the fuse for the headlights is labeled in the fuse box diagram.
Use the fuse box diagram in the owner’s manual to identify the fuse related to the malfunctioning component. A blown fuse will have a broken wire inside.
Generally, you only need a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to remove the blown fuse and a replacement fuse with the same amperage rating.
Replacement fuses are available at auto parts stores, and they are often categorized by amperage and type.
It is not recommended to use a higher amperage fuse, as this can lead to electrical damage. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same amperage rating.
Generally, there’s a cover that can be removed to access the fuses in the engine compartment.
Common reasons include electrical shorts, overloading the circuit, or a malfunctioning component.
Consult the owner’s manual or fuse box diagram to locate the fuse controlling the power windows.
Simply push the new fuse into the slot with the same amperage rating. The fuse box does not need a separate reset process.
Check with Nissan or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for any recalls related to the vehicle’s fuse box.
In some cases, a blown fuse may have a visible break in the wire. However, using a multimeter is a more accurate way to test a fuse.
If the problem persists, it may be a sign of a deeper electrical issue, and it’s advisable to seek professional assistance from a qualified mechanic or the dealership.
