Where is the Highlander Audio Fuse Located?
2 Answers
The Highlander horn fuse is located in the fuse box, which has three possible locations. The Type A and Type B fuse boxes are both in the engine compartment, with the Type A fuse box on the right side of the engine compartment and the Type B fuse box on the left. More details are as follows: 1. Both Type A and Type B fuse boxes can be opened by pressing the tab and then lifting the cover. The tool for removing the fuse is a clip fixed on the cover of the Type A fuse box. If any electrical component stops working, a fuse may have blown. 2. In such a case, inspect and replace the fuse if necessary. When performing maintenance, replace the fuse with one that has the same rated amperage as the original. If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Toyota dealership to inspect the vehicle. 3. Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating than specified or substitute any other item for a fuse. Always use genuine Toyota fuses or equivalent products. Never use a wire as a substitute for a fuse, even temporarily. Do not modify the fuse or fuse box.
As a long-time Highlander owner who has experienced sudden audio system failure, I once found the culprit to be a blown fuse. Located beneath the driver's seat at the junction between the steering wheel and door, you'll find a plastic cover with a pull handle when crouching down. The diagram attached to the inner side of the cover indicates each fuse's purpose - the audio system is usually labeled 'Radio' or 'Audio'. In my case, it was the blue 15-amp fuse numbered F34 that failed. Fortunately, I had a replacement on hand - remember to use plastic tweezers when handling to prevent electric shock. Later I realized it might have been caused by unstable current from my car charger. Without spare fuses, you can buy new ones for just a few dollars at auto parts stores. Always check if the thin wire inside the fuse link is broken.
