In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Chevrolet Equinox (models 2005 and 2006), including diagrams of the fuse boxes, a list of fuses and relays, their designation, and the location of the fuse blocks within the vehicle.
Checking and Replacing Fuses in Chevy Equinox
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by fuses. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems. There are two fuse blocks – the underhood fuse block, and the instrument panel fuse block.
Caution!
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked with their ampere rating. Do not exceed the specified amperage rating when replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can result in a vehicle fire.
Location of Fuse Boxes
Instrument Panel Fuse Block:
The instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger’s side of the instrument panel.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block:
The engine compartment fuse block is located on the driver’s side of the engine compartment.
