Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, replacement fuse.
Ensure the vehicle is turned off and parked on a level surface.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.

2. Access the Fuse Box

Locate the fuse box, which is usually found under the dashboard on the driver's side or in the engine compartment.
If necessary, remove any covers or panels to gain access to the fuse box.

3. Remove the Blown Fuse

Using a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, carefully grasp the blown fuse and pull it straight out of the slot.
Inspect the fuse; a blown fuse will have a broken metal strip inside or will appear dark or cloudy.

4. Install the New Fuse

Select a new fuse with the same amperage rating as the original (as indicated in the owner's manual).
Insert the new fuse into the same slot where the old fuse was located, ensuring it is seated properly.

5. Reassemble and Test

Reattach any covers or panels that were removed to access the fuse box.
Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Start the vehicle and test the previously affected electrical components to confirm they are functioning properly.
