Fuse box locations /other places to check

[Edgley]

Howdy,

 

Got myself a 2003 V8 that needs some TLC.

 

Now, I have looked and searched and have embarrassing not come up with the info.

I know there are three fuse boxes, one at the ends of the dash and in the engine bay.

 

However, I cannot find the info how to access the ones in the ends of the dash.

Could someone enlighten me please?

 

Also, as I have stereo problems, can I ask where else to check?

I know to remove the sub cover to see if its rusted.

I know that there is, supposedly some connections to check where the changer is, but cannot see them.

 

Thanks.

Thank you, I have found that diagram, but I don't know what to remove to access the boxes at the side of the dash.

That information is in your owner's manual, along with diagrams showing how little doors on the side of the dash open to access them.

hmm, well the car didn't come with one.

I have downloaded a copy but didn't see it in there.

It should be in the electrical section.  We cannot reproduce it here for copyright reasons.

 

Open your drivers door wide, then look at the side of the dash where it contacts the door panel, you should see the outline of a door/hatch which is held closed by plastic spring clips.  Pop it open, the fuse panel is inside.

Use a flat-blade screwdriver and insert it where the notch is on the edge.  Pry it out.  Don't use your key.  There is a flat blade screwdriver in the tool-box in the trunk.
