Where is the dashboard fuse box located?
1 Answers
There are generally two fuse boxes in a car. One is located on the right side of the engine compartment, mainly responsible for the safety of external electrical components such as the ECU, windshield washer fluid, headlights, horn, ABS, etc. The other is located on the lower left side of the steering column, primarily ensuring the normal operation of internal electrical components like the cigarette lighter, power windows, electric seats, and airbags. Important Notes: Most vehicles have two fuse boxes. One is inside the engine compartment, ensuring the normal operation of external electrical components such as headlights, horn, onboard computer, air conditioning compressor, and windshield washer motor. The other is located on the left side of the steering wheel or inside the glove box, responsible for internal electrical components like power windows, cigarette lighter, electric seats, and airbags. Fuse Types: There are also two different types of fuses. One is a blade-type fuse, which is thin and plug-in, allowing a circuit current of 5~25A. The other is a cartridge fuse, which is square and plug-in, allowing a circuit current of 20~60A. The color of the fuse represents its amperage, making it easy to distinguish between different amperage levels. The amperage is also marked on the fuse.
