This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation 2014, 2015, 2016 and the revised
2017 or 2018 model year Nissan Rogue SUV in checking or changing a
blown fuse or a faulty relay in either the engine bay or the
interior passenger compartment electrical panels. Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Murano, Altima, Titan, Versa, Sentra, Maxima, Leaf, 370Z, GT-R, Juke, Pathfinder, Armada, Patrol, Skyline, Cube, X-Trail, Xterra, Qashqai, Rogue Sport, NV200, NV400, Teana, Q50, Q70, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX56, QX60, QX70 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. This 2016 Nissan Rogue is equipped with both standard mini blade electrical fuses in the engine bay and low profile fuses in the interior passenger compartment. The tools needed to access the electrical panels include a 10mm socket, a 1/4" drive ratchet a plastic pry bar tool and/or a flathead screwdriver. |

Pry Up Center of Fastener |
Remove Plastic Pop Rivets |
Pop Rivets Removed |
To access the two
engine bay electrical boxes, you'll have to remove the air intake assembly. Start by removing the single bolt at the front of the air intake by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet. Set the bolt aside in a safe place. The front edge of the air intake assembly is held in place by two plastic pop rivets. Gently pry up the center part of each fastener before pulling them out. You can either use a flathead screwdriver or a plastic automotive pop rivet removal tool. Set the two pop rivets aside in a safe place. |

Locate the two
retaining clips on the center of the air intake tube. Firmly pinch together the two tabs on the top of the air intake tube to release the retaining clips. Pull the air intake out of the engine bay and set it aside. |

Pull off the fuse
box cover and set it aside in a safe place. Repeat the process for the smaller fuse box cover. There is a fuse location diagram on the underside of the fuse box cover and also another one in your owner's manual. |

Upside Down Fuse Panel |
Pull Back To Release Clip |
|
Gently pull back
the clips on the outer edge of the upside down fuse block to release it. Lift the fuse block out of the bottom half of the box and turn it over to access the fuses and relays. |
||
Turn Over Fuse Block |
Driver Side Dashboard |
Small Notch Near Bottom |
There is a white
plastic fuse puller tool attached to the interior passenger compartment
electrical panel. If the tool is missing, you can also use a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber insulated handles. Move to the driver side of the dashboard. Locate the small notch near the bottom of the side panel. |
||
Insert Plastic Pry Bar Tool |
Pull Off Access Panel |

Use the plastic
pry bar tool to gently remove the

Interior Fuse Panel |
White Plastic Fuse Puller Tool |
Place Tool Over Fuse |
The white plastic
fuse puller tool is attached to the top middle area of the interior fuse
block. Place the tool over the fuse that you'd like to check or change. Pull the old fuse straight out of the socket. |
||
Old Fuse Removed |
Hold Up To Light Bulb |
Push In New Fuse |
To check the old
fuse, hold it up to a light bulb. If the thin metal bar or "band" in the translucent plastic center of the old fuse appears to be broken or burnt, it is most likely "blown" and should be replaced with a new fuse. This 2016 Nissan Rogue was equipped with standard mini blade electrical fuses in the engine bay and the relatively newer style "low profile" mini blade fuses in the interior passenger compartment panel. Please check the fuses in your Rogue before purchasing new ones. If the thin metal strip in the translucent plastic middle of the old fuse appears to be intact, it is probably still good. Since new fuses are so inexpensive, I still recommend that you replace it as part of your electrical problem troubleshooting process. Push a new fuse of the same amperage rating (e.g. 5A, 10A, 20A, etc) straight in to the socket. |

Electrical Fuses Replaced |
Push the two pop
rivets back in to place at the front edge of the air intake assembly. Re-insert the 10mm bolt and tighten it in the clockwise direction until it is snug. Test the electrical component that wasn't working properly such as the radio, wipers, horn, A/C, power windows, headlights, tail lights, 12V power outlet, power door locks, etc. If you are still having the same problem, there may be a shorted wire somewhere or the electrical component itself needs to be replaced.
