Using Fuse Puller Tool |
Use the fuse box
location charts on the engine bay or passenger compartment fuse box covers
to locate the possibly blown fuse that needs to be checked or replaced.
There are also charts in the owner's manual. Take the white fuse puller tool off the underside of the engine bay fuse box cover. Squeeze the larger end to open the fuse puller tool and latch the smaller end on the head of the fuse. Then gently pull the fuse out of the fuse box while holding your other hand under the fuse puller tool to prevent the fuse from falling into the engine bay. |

Pull Out Blown Fuse |
Fuse Removed |
New Fuse Intact |
Hold the fuse up to
a light source to check whether or not it has been blown.
If you see a break in the thin metal strip inside the plastic fuse, then it has been blown and needs to be replaced. If the thin metal strip runs all the way through the center of the fuse without any interruptions, it is in good working order and does not need to be replaced. |

Pulling Out Fuse In Car |
Check Fuse - Intact |
Repeat the process
for any fuse that you suspect might be blown in the passenger compartment
fuse box.
When in doubt, replace the fuse for any electrical device in the vehicle that is not working properly to help rule a defective fuse as the problem. |

Replace Fuse Box Cover |
Snap On Fuse Box Cover |
Double check your
new fuse by holding it up to a light source before pushing it straight into
the fuse box.
The new low profile mini blade fuse can be pushed in either way, but aligning it so that the amperage number matches the other fuses in the fuse box is best. For more,
