protecting the electrical circuits of the vehicle are fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links; the engine; compartment fuse and relay are mounted over the battery on the driver side and the passenger compartment fuse and relay box is located in the left end of the instrument panel behind a removable trim panel. Every fuse is intended for a certain circuit and mini fuses with blade terminal kind increase the possibility of removal and exertion of new fuses. Using a test light to make sure power at the exposed terminal lips; if power is good on one side and bad on the other, the fuse is blown, which can be further confirmed by observation. Specific details include replacing a blown fuse of a particular circuit with another fuse of the same kind, with the use of fuses of different ratings is dangerous to the circuit. Because when a new fuse goes in and blows as soon as it is put in it might be a sign of wiring problems, typically a short these should be corrected before replacing the fuse. Some of the circuits contain fusible links usually thick- gauged wire which melts when current exceeds the design limit, when affected one has to cut off the link and splice in a new link. Furthermore some fusible links appear as rather large fuses and can be replaced by removing a variety of the negative battery cable and putting a new one in the same amperage as the link.

The best way to check the fuses is with a test light. Check for power at the exposed terminal tips of each fuse. If power is present on one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. A blown fuse can also be confirmed by visually inspecting it; when a fuse blows, the element between the terminals burns.

Yes, additional fuses may be present in smaller boxes near the radiator or in the relay box at the right fender area for certain models like the Solara and Avalon.

If a replacement fuse fails immediately, avoid replacing it again until the underlying problem causing the failure is identified and rectified. Often, this issue arises due to a short circuit resulting from damaged wiring.

If the relay is not being energized, then either the relay is not receiving a main supply or a switching voltage, or the relay itself is faulty. Testing is done by substituting a known good unit, but be careful as some relays may look similar but perform different functions.

Each fuse is designed to protect a specific circuit.

The fuse panel itself identifies the various circuits.

If the replacement fuse immediately fails, do not replace it again until the cause of the problem is isolated and corrected, which is often due to a short circuit in the wiring.

Some circuits are protected by fusible links, which are used in circuits that are not ordinarily fused, such as the ignition circuit, or circuits that carry high current.

Each of the fuses is designed to protect a specific circuit, and the various circuits are identified on the fuse panel cover.

Miniaturized fuses with a blade terminal design are employed in the fuse boxes, allowing for fingertip removal and replacement.

Yes, additional fuses may be present in smaller boxes near the radiator or in the relay box at the right fender area for certain models like the Solara and Avalon.

If an electrical component fails, always check the fuse first.
