Hi,

Checking and replacing fuses really isn't a difficult job to perform. However, the one thing that people often miss is this. A fuse may appear to be good and still be bad. Also, a fuse can be good, but there is no power to it.

So, it is important to not only inspect the fuse itself but also check to confirm there is power to and from it.

Here is a link that explains in detail how it's done:

If you look below, I attached the fuse box information and legends related to each.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
