2. Make sure the inoperative component is turned off. Pull
the suspected fuse straight out with the pullout tool and
check it. If it has blown, push a new fuse into the clips. Good Blown
1. Look carefully at the fuse. If the thin wire is broken, the fuse
has blown. If you are not sure or if it is too dark to see, try
replacing the suspected fuse with one of the same value that
you know is good.
2. Only install a fuse with the amperage rating designated on
the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull
out the “RADIO NO.1”, “RADIO NO.2” or “PWR OUTLET
NO.1” fuse, which may be dispensable for normal driving, and
use it if its amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one lower
than, but as close to the amperage as possible. If the
amperage is lower than that specified, the fuse might blow out
again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get
the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the substitute
to its original clips.

It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep them
in your vehicle for emergencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem with
the electrical system. Have your Lexus dealer correct it as
soon as possible.
You should normalize the power back door, power windows
and moon roof if they do not work or the jam protection function
does not operate correctly after replacing blown fuses. In
these cases, you should do the each instructions referring on
the following pages.

Power back door (See page 42.)
 Power windows (See page 65.)
 Moon roof (See page 131 or 134.)
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or any
other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause
extensive damage and possibly a fire.

If the headlights or other electrical components do not
work and the blade type fuses are O.K., check the
cartridge type fuses. If any of the cartridge type fuses are
blown, they must be replaced.
If there is an overload in the circuits from the battery, the fuses
are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is
damaged.
CAUTION
Always use a genuine Lexus fuse or equivalent for
replacement. Never install an ordinary wire — even for
a temporary fix. This may cause extensive damage and
possibly a fire.
NOTICE
Before replacing the fuses, have the cause of electrical
overload determined and repaired by your Lexus dealer.
