Introdução

This is a quick tutorial on how to replace a fuse on your 2016 SR5 Toyota Tacoma.

If your car's headlights, radios, windows, etc., are not working, this guide may help you.

Warning: This is an electrical repair, so make sure your car is turned off and in park. Before you begin, disconnect the negative battery terminal, especially if you are changing a high amp fuse like the starter, alternator, airbags, etc. to prevent dangerous short circuits, sparks, and potential damage to your car.

    • Turn the vehicle completely off and remove the key.

    • This prevents electrical shocks and keeps the fuse box area safe for physical contact.

    • Open the hood and identify the fuse box.

    • A lot of vehicles store the fuse box in the engine bay under plastic, if not, look under the steering wheel.

    • Refer to the fuse box diagram to locate the correct fuse.

    • Each fuse controls a specific electrical component in the car, so if the wrong fuse is chosen, nothing will change.

    • Fuse pullers are often found at the circled location.

    If your car does not come with a fuse removal tool, you may need to buy one online :(

    • Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse by pulling it straight up.

    • By pulling straight up, you can avoid bending or damaging metal parts within the fuse box.

    Make sure to be careful that you grab the fuse correctly!

    • Hold the fuse up to a light and check whether the metal strip inside is broken.

    • If the strip is broken, the fuse has blown and will not allow current to flow.

    • Make sure that the replacement fuse is the same amperage.

    • Push the new fuse into the corresponding spot.

    Make sure the fuse is seated in fully!

    • Close up the fuse box and hood. Then turn on your truck!

    • If the component still does not work, you may have replaced the wrong fuse.

    Congrats you just replaced a fuse on your car!

Test your car to ensure the broken electrical components are working. If not, you may have chosen the wrong fuse. Refer to step 3 to find out which fuse is not working. Then repeat steps 3-7.
