Location and replacement of fuses, fuse links and relays (Fusion)

Most of the power circuits of the car's electrical equipment are protected by fuses. Headlights, fan motors, fuel pump and other powerful consumers are connected via relays. Fuses and relays are installed in mounting blocks, which are located in the car's interior behind the glove compartment and in the engine compartment on the left side near the battery.



Most fuses are located in the fuse and relay box in the passenger compartment of the vehicle

(Fig. 10.1), located under the instrument panel on the right side. The purpose of the fuses and relays is given in Tables 10.1 and 10.2.

Table 10.1. Purpose of fuses in the fuse box located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle

Table 10.2. Table Purpose of the relay in the mounting block located in the vehicle interior

In addition, fuses and relays are located in the mounting block installed in the engine compartment. Tables 10.3 and 10.4 indicate the purpose of these fuses and relays, but on different vehicle modifications, some circuits indicated in the tables may be missing.

Note: The rear of the glove box contains a diagram of the fuse and relay locations.

To gain access to the mounting block, located in the car's interior, do the following.



1. Open the glove compartment…





2. ...press the walls with your fingers and remove the travel limiters on both sides, and fold back the glove compartment.

3. Before replacing a blown fuse, find out the reason for its blown fuse and eliminate it. When searching for a fault, look at the circuits specified in Table 10.1 that this fuse protects.

Warning! Do not replace fuses with jumpers or fuses rated for a different current, or with homemade jumpers - this may damage electrical equipment and even cause a fire.

4. Remove the replacement fuse using tweezers.

5. To replace a fuse, use a spare fuse of the same rating (and color).



6. If replacement is necessary, remove the relay by rocking it from side to side.



7. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.

To gain access to the mounting block located in the engine compartment, do the following.

You will need: an 8 mm spanner and a flat-blade screwdriver.

1. Remove the battery retaining clip (see "Removal and installation the battery").



2. Press the lock with a screwdriver…



3. …and remove the fuse box cover.



4. Unscrew the two mounting nuts…





5. …and remove the fuse.

Note: For clarity, the battery shelf has been removed.

6. Install the new fuse in the reverse order of removal.



Also in the engine compartment there is a relay block, fixed to the battery pressure plate.

To replace the relay perform the following operations.

1. Disconnect the wire from the negative terminal of the battery.



2. Press the two latches located on the sides of the cover…





3. …and remove the lid.



4. Remove the faulty relay.

5. Install the new relay and the removed cover in the reverse order of removal.
