WARNING
Never use a fuse with a higher or lower amperage rating than specified on the fuse box cover. This could damage the electrical system or cause a fire.
If one of your vehicle's electrical accessories does not work, check whether the corresponding fuse is blown.
- Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position and the headlight switch is in the OFF position.
- Open the hood.
- Remove the fuse box cover by pushing the tab and then lifting it off.
- Using the fuse puller, remove the fuse. The fuse puller is located in the center of the fuse box inside the passenger compartment.

- If the fuse is blown A , replace it with a new fuse B .
- If the new fuse also blows, have the electrical circuit of your vehicle inspected and repaired by a NISSAN dealer.
Fusible links
If electrical accessories on your vehicle do not work but the corresponding fuses are good, check the fusible links.
If a fusible link has melted, replace it with a genuine NISSAN fusible link.
