how to check for a blown fuse in Honda CR-V Fifth Generation (2017-2022)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and materials: multimeter, replacement fuses (if necessary), and gloves for safety.
• Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed from the ignition.

2. Access the Fuse Box

• Open the hood and locate the fuse box in the engine compartment.
  • Tools Required: None
• Alternatively, locate the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver’s side.

3. Remove the Fuse

• Using your fingers or a fuse puller, carefully extract the fuse from its slot.
  • Tools Required: Fuse puller (optional)

4. Inspect the Fuse

• Visually check the fuse for any blown elements. If the filament is broken or melted, the fuse is blown.
• If using a multimeter, connect the probes to each end of the fuse. A reading close to zero indicates continuity, while no reading indicates a blown fuse.
  • Tools Required: Multimeter

5. Replace the Fuse

• If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating (check the fuse diagram for the correct rating).
  • Tools Required: Replacement fuses
• Ensure the new fuse is seated properly in the fuse box.

6. Reassemble

• Close the fuse box cover securely.
• If you accessed the engine compartment, close the hood properly.
