How to Open the Fuse Box on a Ford Kuga?
2 Answers
The method to open the fuse box on a Ford Kuga is as follows: 1. Open the driver's door; 2. Pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area; 3. Lift the engine hood upwards and secure it with the support rod; 4. Locate the black box next to the left-side battery, which is the fuse box, and press firmly to open it. Taking the 2019 Ford Kuga as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of: length 4525mm, width 1838mm, height 1685mm, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. The 2019 Ford Kuga is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 182PS, maximum power of 134kW, maximum torque of 245Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I remember dealing with the fuse box of the Escape. There are usually two locations to find it: the main fuse box is in the engine compartment, near the battery or below the windshield; the other one is inside the cabin, under the driver's feet or on the side of the center console. When opening it, first turn off the ignition key to ensure safety, then go to the engine compartment side. The cover usually has a small groove or clip. Gently press or hold the edge and pull it upward—don’t use too much force to avoid damage. If the cover is stuck, it might be due to dust buildup or a deformed clip, so you’ll need to clean it or carefully inspect it. I’ve encountered this a few times while repairing cars—beginners tend to make mistakes. I recommend checking the owner’s manual first to confirm the location diagram to avoid wasted effort. If you can’t open it, don’t force it; it’s safer to ask a professional technician for help, especially since electrical circuits are related to safety.
