In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Chevrolet Equinox (models 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021), 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
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. There is a fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse block. It can be used to easily remove fuses from the 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 under the instrument panel on the driver side. To access the fuses, press and release the latch near the top center square. Apply pressure to the two retaining tabs on the sides of the cover, until the two retaining tabs clear the sides of the instrument panel. Allow the panel to move downward and out of the way. To reinstall the cover, reverse the steps.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block: To remove the fuse block cover, squeeze the clips on the cover and lift it straight up.
Rear Compartment Fuse Block: The rear compartment fuse block is behind a trim panel on the side of the rear compartment. Remove the trim plate to access the fuse block.
