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.

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.

Place Tool Over Fuse
The white plastic fuse puller tool is attached to the top middle area of the interior fuse block.

Pull the old fuse straight out of the socket.

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.

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.
