Checking and replacing fuses [Toyota Camry Vista-V40]

Contents: Fuse box in the passenger compartment ↓ Checking fuse links ↓

Note: If the headlights or other electrical components do not work, check the fuses. If any of the fuses are blown, they must be replaced.

1. Turn off the ignition.

2. The figure below shows the location of the fuses in the car's interior. Determine which fuse has blown

3. If you are not sure whether the fuse in question has blown or not, replace the suspect fuse with another fuse that you are sure is working properly.

Note: To remove and install type "A" fuses, use a special "tweezers" type puller.

4. Install only a fuse with the ampere rating indicated on the fuse box cover.

5. If there is no spare fuse, in critical situations you can remove the fuses from the "RADIO", "A/C" or "MIR-HTR" positions that are not necessary for normal operation of the vehicle and use them if their rating matches the required one.

Note: Do not use a fuse with a higher amperage rating or any other objects ("bugs") to replace a blown fuse. This may cause more serious damage or a fire.

6. If you do not have a fuse with the rated value, then you should use a fuse with a lower value, as close to the rated value as possible.

Note: It is recommended to keep a set of spare fuses in the vehicle.

7. If the new fuse blows immediately, this indicates a fault in the electrical system.

Note: The location of the fuses in different configurations may differ slightly from that shown in the figures in the chapter "Body electrical equipment".

Checking fuse links

1. If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses are OK, then check the fuse links. If some of the links are burnt out, then they need to be replaced.

2. The fuse links are designed to melt before the entire electrical circuit is damaged in the event of an overload in the electrical circuits from the battery.
