Where is the fuse location for Lexus IS?
3 Answers
The fuse location for Lexus IS is inside the black fuse box beneath the front hood, between the engine's left side and the battery. The Lexus IS is a mid-size car. Taking the Lexus IS 2017 300 Luxury Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4680 mm, width 1810 mm, height 1430 mm, wheelbase 2800 mm, fuel tank capacity 66 liters, and curb weight 1650 kg. The Lexus IS 2017 300 Luxury Edition is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 180 kW and a maximum power speed of 5800 rpm.
I usually enjoy tinkering with cars. The Lexus IS fuse locations are mainly in two places: one is in the engine compartment—after opening the hood, look towards the left front of the car, and you'll find a black box with a label showing the fuse diagram; the other is near the driver's seat, just below the steering wheel close to the dashboard. You can pop open a small cover to see a bunch of fuses. It's important to remember these locations because if your car audio or lights stop working, it's often due to a blown fuse. Checking and replacing it yourself can save a lot of hassle, but make sure the car is turned off before you start—safety first. I recommend keeping a multimeter handy to test the fuses, as they usually blow due to electrical overload or short circuits. Also, be mindful not to overload your car's electrical system. Knowing the locations makes DIY repairs a breeze.
When I was driving the Lexus IS200t, the rearview mirror heating suddenly stopped working. After checking, it turned out to be a fuse issue. I remember there were two locations: one is under the panel near the driver's seat leg area inside the car, where you lift the cover to find the fuse array; the other is under the hood, in a box at the left corner after opening the engine compartment. Once I figured out the locations, I learned to replace them quickly—all you need is a small pair of pliers, but you must ensure the fuse type matches and avoid inserting it into the wrong slot. If the lights don't turn on or electrical components fail, knowing the locations can speed up troubleshooting. Familiarity with these spots makes daily maintenance much easier.
