  • Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed from the ignition.

2. Locate the Fuse Box

  • Open the driver’s side door and remove the fuse box cover located under the dashboard.

4. Remove the Blown Fuse

  • Using the fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, gently pull the blown fuse out of its socket.
  • Dispose of the blown fuse appropriately.

5. Install the New Fuse
