Chevrolet Malibu (2008-2012)

Checking and Replacing Fuses in Chevy Malibu

The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to protect against an electrical system overload. 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.

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

The instrument panel fuse block is located on the instrument panel near the floor on the passenger side of the vehicle. Remove the panel cover to access the fuse block, then remove the fuse block cover to access the fuses.Chevrolet Malibu (2008-2012): Passenger compartment fuse panel location
