Location of fuses and relays and their replacement

Most vehicle electrical power circuits are protected by fuses. Powerful current consumers are connected via relays. Fuses and relays are installed in mounting blocks, which are located in the passenger compartment under the instrument panel on the right side and in the engine compartment next to the battery.

Most fuses are installed in the fuse and relay box in the passenger compartment (pic. 10.1), located under the instrument panel on the right side. Assignment of fuses and relays (their numbers are indicated on the block and in the figure) indicated in Table. 10.1.

Pic. 10.2. Numbers of fuses, fuses and relays in the mounting block located in the engine compartment

In addition, fuses, relays and fuse links are located in the mounting block installed in the engine compartment (pic. 10.2, mounting block cover removed). In table. 10.2 indicates the purpose of these fuses, fuses and relays, but on a specific car model, some of the circuits indicated in the table may not be available.

1. To gain access to the fuses and relays of the mounting block located in the passenger compartment, unscrew the two fastening screws under the instrument panel on the right..




2.... and lower the mounting block down.



3. For the convenience of working with the block, its body can be pulled out by rearranging the protrusions of the body in the grooves of the supporting brackets.

4. Before replacing a blown fuse, find out the cause of the blown fuse and fix it. When looking for a malfunction, look at the ones listed in Table. 10.1 the circuits that this fuse protects.

WARNING: Do not replace fuses with jumpers or fuses of a different amperage, or makeshift jumpers, as this may damage electrical appliances and even cause a fire.

5. Using special plastic tweezers, remove the replacement fuse.




6. This is what a blown fuse looks like (the jumper shown by the arrow inside the holder has burned out and opened). To replace a fuse, use a spare fuse of the same rating (and colors).



7. To access the fuses and relays of the mounting block located in the engine compartment, pull the lever on the back of the block and lift the cover.

NOTE: On the inside of the cover of the relay and fuse mounting block located in the engine compartment, there is a diagram of the location of the relay and fuses. Tweezers 1 are also fixed there for removing fuses from mounting blocks, sockets 2 are provided next to it for attaching spare fuses.

8. If replacement is necessary, remove the fuse (relay), rocking it from side to side.

9. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
