If an electrical system has stopped operating, the cause may be a blown fuse. The easiest way to check if a fuse has blown is to first remove it.
To check for a blown fuse:
- Refer to the fuse box tables shown in this section to identify the correct fuse.
- Gain access to the appropriate fuse box. See FUSE BOX LOCATIONS.
- Refer to the fuse box label to locate the correct fuse. Depending on the fuse box, the label is located on the underside of the lid. The label on the loadspace fuse box is located in the slot on the front edge of the fuse box.
- Use the fuse removal tool to remove the fuse. The fuse removal tool is located in the loadspace fuse box. See FUSE BOX LOCATIONS.
- Check for a break in the wire within the fuse. If the wire within the fuse is broken, the fuse has blown and needs replacing. If the wire is still intact, consult a retailer/authorised repairer.
- Refit or replace the fuse, as appropriate. Make sure the fuse is pushed fully into its correct position. Spare fuses are located in the loadspace fuse box.
