2
Locate the fuse box, typically found under the dashboard and in the engine compartment.
3
Use a fuse tester or visually inspect fuses for signs of failure (broken filament or discoloration).
4

Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools:
- Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers
- Replacement fuses (correct amperage)
Ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked on a level surface.

2. Locate the Fuse Box

Open the driver's side door and look for the fuse panel cover located below the dashboard on the driver’s side.
Open the engine compartment and locate the second fuse box, usually near the battery.

3. Remove the Blown Fuse

Use the fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to carefully extract the blown fuse from its slot.
Check the condition of the fuse: if the filament is broken or the fuse appears burnt, it is confirmed blown.

4. Install the New Fuse

Take a replacement fuse with the same amperage rating (e.g., 10A, 15A, 20A) as the blown fuse.
Insert the new fuse into the same slot where the old one was removed, ensuring a secure fit.

5. Test the Electrical Components

Close the fuse box cover and turn on the vehicle.
Test the previously malfunctioning electrical component to confirm functionality.
