Buick Encore (2013-2016)

Checking and Replacing Fuses in Buick Encore

The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems.

To check a fuse, look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating. Fuses of the same amperage can be temporarily borrowed from another fuse location, if a fuse goes out. Replace the fuse as soon as possible.

Caution!

  • Data on the replacement fuse must match the data on the defective fuse.
  • Before replacing a fuse, turn every vehicle electrical switch off.
  • Spilling liquid on any electrical component on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.
