In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Chevrolet Malibu (models 2016, 2017, and 2018), 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 the vehicle are protected from short circuits by fuses. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems. 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.
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 on the driver side of the instrument panel.
To access the fuses:
- Pull out at the center of the right edge, and swing the cover out and to the left.
- Remove the cover.
- To reinstall the cover, line up the tabs on the left edge, and press the cover into place.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block:
The engine compartment fuse block is on the driver side of the engine compartment.
