Warning! Before replacing a fuse, it is necessary to determine and eliminate the cause of its blown. In order to avoid failure of electrical equipment elements, fuses with an increased rating or home-made fuses should not be installed.
Execution sequence
1. We prepare the car for work and turn off the ignition («Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Pulling, remove the instrument panel overlay.
3. By the serial number on the inside of the instrument panel lining, we find the fuse for the faulty circuit.
4. The fuse and relay mounting block contains tweezers to remove the fuses.
5. Squeeze the fuse case with tweezers and remove the fuse from the block.
A bad fuse can be identified by a blown filament.
Recommendation. Sometimes the thread of the fuse remains intact, while its connection inside the fuse is broken. It is impossible to visually determine such a malfunction. In this case, you can evaluate the condition of the fuse using an ohmmeter or test lamp.
6. Install a new fuse of the appropriate rating.
7. If it is necessary to replace the relay, remove it with a puller located in the mounting block.
8. Install a new relay of the same type.
9. To replace the fuses in the engine compartment, disconnect the wire terminal from the negative battery terminal.
10. Remove the cover of the fuse box.
11. Replace the defective fuse.
12. Close the block cover and connect the battery.
