FAQs

Where is the dashboard fuse on a Honda Civic? ›

Interior Fuse Box

Located under the dashboard.

To locate the fuse specification chart for your vehicle or to learn how to change a fuse, refer to the "Fuses" section of your Owner's Manual.

The glass tube forms a physical guard for the fuse, so that when it blows the molten metal does not cause damage or injury. A glass tube allows you to see when the fuse has blown: there will be a gap in the wire or a metallic smear on the inside of the glass.

Open the fuse box door. Inspect each fuse using a flashlight to find the one that is burned or melted (the working fuses will have a clear glass casing but the blown one will look cloudy or blackened).

The car fuse box under the hood protects engine components including engine control unit (ECU), cooling fan, ABS motor and battery. Whereas the fuse box near the dashboard protects cabin components like power windows, interior lights, radio or infotainment system and turn signals.

Which Fuse Controls the Dashboard Gauge? The instrument cluster fuse manages the dashboard gauge of a vehicle. It uses electricity from the car battery to power various electronic components of the dashboard such as the different warning lights, gauges, and alarm systems.

Most fuse boxes are in the dashboard on the driver's side. However, keep in mind that the exact location is still dependent on vehicle specifications. Most vehicles have another fuse box under the hood near the battery.

A switched fuse, on the other hand, only has power when the car is turned on. The main difference between the two is that a constant fuse provides continuous power even when the car is not in use, while a switched fuse only provides power when the car is running.

In most cases, the main fuse box is situated under the hood, near the battery, while secondary panels can be found in the passenger compartment, often hidden behind a removable panel.

There are two types of fuse boxes—Type-S and Type-T. The main difference between them is the base. Type-S fuses use a different-size base with a rejection feature that will only allow the right-sized Edison-type socket with an adapter. Type-T fuses have Edison bases resembling a light bulb base.

How can I tell what fuse I need? ›

First, you will need to determine the maximum fuse rating in amperages by applying this formula for calculation: P (Watts) ÷ V (Voltage) = I (Amps). Next, you will need to calculate the minimum fuse rating or amperage by multiplying that total (the maximum amperage rating) by 125%.

The most straightforward is to inspect the fuse itself, where the amperage rating is typically noted on or near the top of the fuse. The second is to check the fuse diagram in the vehicle, to understand which fuse type is in each slot.
