In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Chevrolet Malibu / Malibu MAXX (models 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007), 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 fuses 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: one in the center of the instrument panel, one in the engine compartment and one in the trunk. There is a fuse puller located on the instrument panel 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 located at on the lower front side of the console, on the passenger side of the vehicle. 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 console panel to secure it.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block:
The engine compartment fuse block is located on the driver’s side of the vehicle, near the battery.
Rear Compartment Fuse Block:
The rear compartment fuse block is located in the trunk of the vehicle. Access the fuse block through the trunk panel on the driver’s side of the rear cargo area.
