Check the legend printed on the cover first and match each slot number to its assigned circuit before removing any protective element; incorrect removal can disable multiple systems such as lighting, audio, or control modules.
The interior distribution panel is positioned under the dashboard on the driver side, while the engine compartment unit sits near the battery and contains higher amperage links. Blade-type components in the cabin usually range from 7.5A to 20A, while under-hood sections include 30A–60A units secured with bolts.
Use a dedicated puller tool or needle-nose pliers with insulated tips to extract components cleanly. Inspect the metal strip inside each element under good lighting; a break or burn mark indicates failure, though a multimeter provides a more accurate check.
Always reinstall parts with identical amperage ratings and correct orientation, then test the related system immediately. Mismatched ratings can lead to wiring damage or repeated shutdown of connected devices.

Match each numbered slot with its circuit using the legend printed inside the cover, focusing on key positions such as interior panel slots controlling lighting, audio system, and power outlets, while higher-numbered positions often relate to control modules and safety systems.
The cabin-mounted electrical block contains low-amperage blade units typically rated between 7.5A and 20A, arranged in compact rows, while the engine compartment panel includes larger cartridge-style protectors and relay switches responsible for radiator fan operation, ignition supply, and ABS functions; verify each circuit by cross-checking slot number, amperage marking, and connected component, then confirm continuity with a multimeter rather than relying only on visual inspection.
Cabin fuse box layout with slot numbers and circuit functions
Use the cover legend to match slot numbers with assigned circuits before removing any electrical protection element; interior panel positions are grouped by function, with lower-numbered slots typically handling lighting and accessory lines, while mid-range slots control power windows, door locks, and dashboard electronics.
- Slots 1–5: interior lighting, trunk lamp, and illumination control
- Slots 6–10: audio unit, clock, and power outlet circuits
- Slots 11–15: climate control system and blower motor relay feed
- Slots 16–20: power window motors and central locking system
- Slots 21–25: instrument cluster, warning indicators, and control modules
Each position is labeled with amperage values such as 10A or 15A on top of the blade unit; confirm both slot index and rating before removal, and verify circuit continuity with a multimeter if a component appears intact but fails under load.
