You can Select Your Vehicle to check if D3AZ-14526-M fits your vehicle.

The ignition switch and the appropriate electrical circuit must always be switched off before any of the fuses or relays are removed and replaced. If electrical components or units have to be removed, the battery ground lead must be disconnected.

The most accurate fuse guide for your vehicle can be found in the owner's manual.

The amperage value of each fuse is molded into the fuse body.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links.

In earlier models, the fuses are tubular glass body types, while in later models, miniaturized fuses with blade terminal design are employed.

A blown fuse can be confirmed visually by inspecting it.

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are protected by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and fusible links.

Miniaturized fuses with a blade terminal design are used in the fuse block in the passenger compartment.

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 at one side of the fuse but not the other, the fuse is blown. A blown fuse can also be identified by visually inspecting it.

Two types of fuses are used, depending on the date of manufacture. Early models use a glass tube design, while later models use miniaturized fuses with a blade terminal design.

If the replacement fuse immediately fails, do not replace it again until the cause of the problem is isolated and corrected.

To replace a fuse, first turn the ignition switch OFF. Grasp the push-in type fuse with the provided tool, or a pair of needle-nose pliers. Look through the side of the fuse body to determine if the fuse element is blown. Check the amperage rating of the fuse which was removed and obtain a new fuse of the same rating. Align the fuse with its mounting position and push it into place until fully seated in the panel. Turn the ignition switch on and operate the accessory that was protected by that fuse.

These compact fuses allow fingertip removal and replacement.

Be sure to replace blown fuses with the correct type. Fuses of different ratings are physically interchangeable, but only fuses of the proper rating should be used.

Miniaturized fuses are used because their compact dimensions and convenient blade-type terminal design allow fingertip removal and installation.

The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment on the left side fender apron.

The fuse and relay box is located inside the vehicle, behind the right kick panel.
