In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Chevrolet Equinox (models 2007, 2008, and 2009), 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 the vehicle are protected from short circuits by fuses. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems. 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.
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 side of the center console, to the left of the glove box near the floor. Remove the console cover to access the fuse block.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block:
The engine compartment fuse block is located on the driver side of the engine compartment. To remove the fuse block cover, release the rear of the cover first, by unlocking both of the tabs in the back. Then lift the cover off. Do not lift the front of the cover until the tabs at the rear have been unlocked. To reinstall, fit together the tabs located on the front of the cover, and push down on the cover until the tabs on the rear of the cover click into place.
