Fuse box locations
Passenger compartment
The fuse panel is located behind the glove box.
To access the fuse panel, the glove box must be removed. Remove it by slipping the glove box strap off the hook and allowing the door to roll down off its hinges.
To reinstall, position the glove box door at an 8 o’clock orientation and engage the hinge hook formations on the lower edge of the glove box door with the hinge pins on the lower edge of the instrument panel. Tilt the upper edge of the glove box door upward toward the instrument panel enough to reattach the glove box strap to the door. Rotate the glove box door to the closed position. Open and close it to ensure proper installation.
Engine compartment
Your vehicle is equipped with an electrical power distribution center located in the engine compartment near the battery.
This power center houses plug-in “Cartridge” fuses, ISO relays, and Mini (Micro) fuses. A label inside the latching cover of the center identifies each component for ease of replacement, if necessary. Cartridge and mini (micro) fuses can be obtained from your authorized dealer.
