Check the cover panel under the dashboard on the driver side to match each numbered slot with its assigned circuit before removing any component, reducing the risk of disabling ignition or accessory systems.
The cabin-mounted electrical panel manages low to mid amperage circuits such as lighting, audio system, power windows, and dashboard controls, typically ranging between 7.5A and 20A. Each position is labeled with abbreviations that correspond to specific functions, allowing quick identification.
Use a puller tool to remove each protective element and inspect the internal strip for breaks or burn marks; replace only with identical amperage ratings printed on top to avoid overheating wires or damaging connected modules.

Match each numbered slot with the legend printed on the panel cover before removing any protective element to avoid cutting power to ignition, lighting, or control modules.
The driver-side dashboard panel contains circuits for cabin electronics and accessory systems. Each position is labeled with abbreviations that correspond to functions such as audio unit, power windows, climate control, and instrument cluster. Ratings typically fall between 7.5A and 20A, allowing quick identification of circuit capacity.
- 7.5A protects control switches and signal circuits
- 10A supports lighting and small electronics
- 15A to 20A handles outlets and audio systems
Use a puller tool to remove each component and inspect the metal strip inside; a visible break or dark spot indicates failure, and replacement must match the original amperage value to prevent wiring damage or malfunction.
How to Access Interior Fuse Panel Under Dashboard in Acura RSX
Locate the panel beneath the driver side dashboard and remove the small plastic cover by pulling it outward from the lower edge, using steady pressure to release the retaining clips without breaking them.
Kneel near the pedals and look upward behind the trim section to find the electrical block mounted vertically; ensure the ignition is off before touching any component, then use a puller tool stored in the panel area to extract protective links for inspection or replacement while keeping track of slot numbers printed alongside each position.
