In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Chevrolet Malibu / Malibu Classic (models 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004), 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 Malibu
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers and fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.
There are three fuse blocks in your vehicle: two instrument panel fuse blocks and the engine compartment fuse block. There is a fuse puller located on 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 Blocks:
The instrument panel fuse blocks are located at each end of the instrument panel. To access the fuses, open the fuse panel door by pulling out. To reinstall the door, insert the hooks at the front end first, then push the door into the instrument panel to secure it.
Driver’s Side:
Passenger’s Side:
Engine Compartment Fuse Block:
The engine compartment fuse block is located on the driver’s side of the vehicle, near the engine air cleaner/filter.
