1. Preparation

Tools Required: Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, flashlight (if needed)
Ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked on a level surface.

2. Access the Fuse Box

Open the driver's side door and locate the fuse box cover on the lower left side of the dashboard.
If replacing a fuse in the engine compartment, open the hood and locate the fuse box near the battery.

3. Remove the Blown Fuse

Use the fuse puller or needle-nose pliers to grasp the blown fuse.
Pull the fuse straight out of the socket gently to avoid damaging the surrounding fuses.

Select a new fuse with the same amperage rating as the one being replaced (check the fuse diagram for the correct rating).
Align the new fuse with the slot and push it firmly into place until it is seated securely.

Replace the fuse box cover securely.
Turn on the vehicle and check the functionality of the previously malfunctioning electrical component.
