Fuse Replacement
The fuse boxes are located under the dashboard on the driver's side and on the right front fender beside the battery. The circuitsprotected by each fuse are listed on the plastic sheet in the box.
If any of your car's lights, accessories, or controls don't work,
check their fuses. If a fuse has blown, the wire inside it win be
burned through.
Checking the fuses: 1 . Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2 . If you find a blown or possibly faulty fuse, use the fuse remover (located inside the fuse box under the dashboard) to pull the
blown fuse out of its clips.
3 . Check all other fuses as well as the one you suspect.
4 . Push in a new fuse of the same rating, and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If it fits loosely, have your dealer fix it.If you don't have a spare, take a fuse of the same rating (or lower)
out of a circuit you may not need, like the radio or cigarette lighter. Remember to replace the borrowed fuse and the missing spares. FUSE BOX COVER

Fuse Replacement (cont'd)
CAUTION:
A blown fuse may be just a symptom of some other problem. If a new fuse blows right away, the cause should be diagnosed and
corrected by a qualified Honda technician. Never replace a fuse with anything but another fuse of the same or lower rating. A
higher capacity fuse could cause damage and even start a fire.
The main fuse and some primary fuses are installed in the fuse box
on the right front fender in the engine compartment.
MAIN FUSE: (65A) SUNROOF FUSE: (35A)
If the circuits from the battery are ever overloaded (by a short in
the system drawing too much current for example) the main or a primary fuse will blow, preventing damage to the entire wiring
harness. If the main fuse blows, have a Honda dealer check the
system, repair the cause, and replace the fuse.
CAUTION:
The electrical system is protected by fuses that are designed to
fail and prevent damage to the wire harness. Always replaceblown fuses with the same rating as specified to prevent wiring
damage that can result in a possible fire.
For proper electrical contact after replacing these fuses, make
sure all screws are tight.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu t s
