Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: multimeter, fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, and a flashlight.
Ensure the vehicle is in the "OFF" position to avoid electrical shock.

2. Access the Fuse Box

Open the driver’s side door and locate the fuse panel cover.
Remove the cover by gently pulling it away from the dashboard or using a flat-head screwdriver if necessary.

3. Inspect Fuses

Using the fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, carefully remove the fuses one at a time.
Inspect each fuse for damage: a blown fuse will have a broken wire or a darkened appearance.

4. Replace Blown Fuses

If a blown fuse is found, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating as indicated on the fuse itself.
Ensure the new fuse is seated properly in its slot.

5. Reassemble

Reattach the fuse box cover securely.
Close the driver’s side door.
