Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools and replacement parts.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

Open the driver's side door and locate the fuse box cover under the dashboard.
Alternatively, check the engine compartment for the main fuse box.

3. Remove the Blown Fuse

Using your fingers or a fuse puller, carefully remove the blown fuse from its slot.
Inspect the fuse for signs of damage. If the filament is broken, it confirms the fuse is blown.

4. Install the New Fuse

Select a new fuse of the same amperage rating as the blown fuse (as indicated on the fuse box cover).
Firmly insert the new fuse into the appropriate slot in the fuse box.

5. Reconnect Battery and Test

Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Turn on the vehicle and test the electrical component to ensure proper function.
