Where is the fuse for the Chery A5 fan located?
2 Answers
The fuse for the Chery A5 fan is located in the engine compartment, next to the battery. Method to locate the fan fuse: Turn off the power and engage the handbrake. Pull the hood release lever located in the driver's footwell to open the hood. Locate and open the fuse box, then identify the fan fuse based on the labeled markings. Precautions for replacing car fuses: Always replace fuses with ones of the same rated current as specified on the fuse box cover. Never use a fuse with a higher current rating. If the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates a potential fault in the electrical system that requires prompt inspection. In emergencies when no spare fuse is available, you may temporarily replace it with a fuse from non-essential equipment that doesn't affect driving or safety. If an identical current-rated fuse isn't available, use one with a lower current rating than the original.
When I was driving my Chery A5, the fan suddenly stopped, so I quickly checked the fuse. The fan fuse is usually located in the main fuse box in the engine compartment, which might be near the battery or by the engine. Open the box cover, and you'll find a label marked "Fan" or "FAN FUSE" in English, often with a common designation like F20. Just locate the corresponding position and pull it out to inspect. If it's blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same rated current—I recommend keeping spare fuses in the car just in case, since a stopped fan can easily cause engine overheating and lead to more issues. By the way, this type of fuse is designed to be in the engine compartment to protect against dust and vibrations—don’t confuse it with the interior fuse box, which controls the AC switch. During routine maintenance, I usually take a quick glance to ensure everything is dry, as this can extend its lifespan.
