Where is the Alto turn signal fuse located?
2 Answers
The Alto commonly has two sets of fuses. The first set of fuses is located under the dashboard, specifically beneath the beige plastic panel above the clutch. To access it, first remove the beige plastic panel by applying slight upward force. The second set of fuses is located in the engine compartment, next to the battery. Press the fuse box cover to the left to remove it. More details are as follows: 1. Function: The fuse primarily serves to protect the circuit. When the circuit temperature is too high or the current is excessive, the fuse will blow to safeguard the circuit. The car's fuse box contains many fuses and relays. When a fuse blows, certain functions of the car may be affected. If a fuse blows, car owners need to replace it with a new one. 2. Replacement details: On the cover of the fuse box, there are labels indicating the function and code of each fuse, making it easy for car owners to quickly locate the blown fuse. Replacing a fuse is very simple, even easier than changing a tire. Inside the fuse box, there is a small clip that can be used to remove the fuse. Then, simply insert a new fuse in its place. When replacing a fuse, never use your fingers to pull it out; always use the dedicated clip to remove the fuse.
I drove an Alto for many years, and the most common location for the turn signal fuse is under the dashboard near the driver's seat—you'll need to bend down and feel around for it. It's usually a small plastic fuse box with a diagram on the cover indicating which fuse corresponds to the turn signals—typically labeled 'Turn' or something similar. The position isn't very obvious, so a flashlight might be needed to see clearly. The exact location varies by model: older Altos may have it in the lower left corner of the dashboard, while newer ones might place it in the engine compartment fuse box. That's why it's best to check the owner's manual or look up diagrams online to avoid aimless searching. If the fuse blows, first turn off the ignition to cut power, then use small pliers to pull it out and check if the filament is broken. If it's blown, replace it with a new fuse—usually a 15-amp one will do. It's not a difficult task, but the tricky location can be time-consuming. I've had the turn signal fuse blow twice, both due to water short-circuiting the lights, so parking away from heavy rain and checking the light seals regularly is also important.
