Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required:
- Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers
- Multimeter
Ensure the vehicle is turned off and keys are removed from the ignition.

2. Remove the Fuse

Using the fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, gently pull out the HVAC fuse from the fuse box.
Inspect the fuse visually for any signs of damage, such as a broken wire or discoloration.

3. Test the Fuse

Set the multimeter to the continuity setting.
Connect the multimeter probes to each end of the fuse.
If the multimeter beeps or shows continuity, the fuse is good; if not, it is blown.

4. Replace the Fuse (if necessary)

If the fuse is blown, obtain a new fuse of the same amperage rating as specified on the fuse box cover.
Insert the new fuse into the designated slot firmly until it is seated properly.

5. Reassemble

Replace the fuse box cover securely.
Turn on the vehicle and test the HVAC system for functionality.
