Main fuses
1. Most of the fuses are located behind the glove box on the passenger side, and the rest of the fuses are located in a box located in the left corner of the engine compartment.
2. To remove the main fuse box cover, open the glove box, turn the two white tabs, and lower the cover. To access the fuses in the engine compartment, remove the screws securing the cover.
3. The list of circuits protected by each fuse is indicated on the cover of the main fuse box (pic. 3.3, a). In addition, there is a fuse extractor in the box. Keep in mind that vertically mounted fuses protect a circuit, while horizontally mounted fuses are spares. At the top of the box are "fusible links". The main fusible link is located next to the battery in the engine compartment (pic. 3.3b).
4. To remove a fuse, first turn off the corresponding circuit (or ignition), and then pull the fuse out of its clips using the tool attached to the fuse box cover (pic. 3.4). Inspect the wiring inside the fuse - if it is broken or melted, then the fuse is blown.
5. When replacing, always install a fuse of the same rating. Never use a fuse with a different rating and do not replace it "bug". Do not replace the fuse more than once until the cause of the problem is found. The fuse parameters are indicated on its head. To facilitate recognition, the fuses have a different color.
6. If the new fuse blows immediately, then before replacing it, you need to find the cause of the malfunction. The most common cause is a short to ground due to faulty insulation. If a fuse protects multiple circuits, try to isolate the problem by turning off the circuits one at a time (if possible), until it burns out again. Your vehicle should always have a set of spare fuses of all ratings attached inside the fuse box at the bottom of the fuse box.
Relay
7. Most of the relays are located in the fuse box located behind the glove box on the passenger side (pic. 3.7), and the remaining relays are located in the engine compartment box, installed in its left corner.
8. If you suspect that the relay itself is the cause of a malfunction in a relay-controlled circuit or system, turn the system on. If you hear a click when the relay is energized, then the malfunction is due to the system components or its wiring. If the relay does not work, then the main voltage or control voltage is not supplied to it, or the relay itself is faulty. To check, replace the relay with a good one. At the same time, keep in mind that some turnips may have the same look and purpose, while others may be similar, but at the same time perform different functions.
9. Before replacing the relay, turn off the ignition. Pull the turnip out of the nest and insert a new one there.
