Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: flathead screwdriver, multimeter, and replacement fuses.
Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed from the ignition.

2. Access the Fuse Box

Locate the fuse box under the dashboard on the driver's side.
Gently pull off the fuse box cover, taking care not to damage any clips.

3. Check Fuses

Visual Inspection:
- Check each fuse for a broken filament or discoloration.
- Remove any fuses that look damaged using the fuse puller if provided or a pair of needle-nose pliers.
Use Multimeter for Continuity Check:
- Set the multimeter to the continuity setting.
- Touch one probe to each end of the fuse. If the multimeter beeps, the fuse is good; if not, the fuse is blown.

4. Replace Blown Fuses

Replace any blown fuses with new ones of the same amperage rating. Ensure they are seated properly in their slots.
Replace the fuse box cover by aligning it and pressing it back into place until it clicks securely.
