Check and replace fuses

Fuses are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is damaged. If any of the electrical components are not working, a fuse may have blown. If this happens, check and replace the fuses if necessary.

  • Turn off the headlights, ignition and all electrical consumers.
  • Open the corresponding fuse box.
  • See the diagrams below for details on which fuse to check.
  • Remove the fuse using the plastic clamps located on the fuse box cover.
  • Check if the fuse is blown – if the thin metal band inside is damaged, the fuse has blown.
  • If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage (same color and same print) and the same size.
  • Replace the cover.

Remember!

  • Never replace a fuse with a higher amperage fuse. Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage (same color and same print) and the same size.
  • Never repair fuses.
  • Never replace the fuses with a metal strip, paper clip, or similar object.
  • If a recently replaced fuse blows again after a short period of time, the electrical system should be checked by an authorized dealer.
