2000 HONDA S2000 fuse box

All the electrical circuits in your car
have fuses to protect them from a
short circuit or overload.
These
fuses are located in three fuse boxes.
The interior fuse box is underneath
the dashboard on the driver's side.
Fuses
There are two under-hood fuse
boxes
in the engine compartment.
The main fuse box is located on the
passenger's side near the battery. To
open it, push the two tabs as shown.

Fuses
The auxiliary fuse box is located on
the driver's side near the brake fluid
reservoir. To open it, push the tab on
each side and remove the
lid.
232 Taking Care of the Unexpected
Checking and Replacing Fuses
If something electrical in your car
stops working, the first thing you
should check for is a blown fuse.
Determine from the chart on pages
234 and 235 , or the diagram on the
fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses
control that component. Check those
fuses first, but check
all the fuses
before deciding that a blown fuse is
not the cause. Replace any blown
fuses and check
the component's
operation.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK
(0). Make sure the headlights and
all other accessories are off.
2. Remove the cover from the fuse
box.
3. Check each of the large fuses in
the under-hood fuse box by
looking through the top at the wire
inside. Removing these fuses
requires a Phillips-head screw­
driver.

4. Check the smaller fuses by pulling
out
the fuse with the fuse puller
provided in
the interior fuse box.
5. Look for a burned wire inside the
fuse.
If it is burned, replace it with
one of
the spare fuses of the same
rating or lower.
If you cannot drive the vehicle
without fixing the problem, and you
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse
of the same rating or a lower rating
from one of
the other circuits. Make
sure you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket
or radio).
Fuses
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that
has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct rating as
soon as you can.
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances
of damaging the electrical
system.
If you do not have a replace­
ment
fuse with the proper rating for the
circuit, install one with a lower rating.
6. If the replacement fuse of the
same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your car.
Leave
the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your car checked
by a qualified mechanic.
