In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the GMC Sierra (GMT900; models 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013), 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 GMC Sierra
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers and fusible thermal links. Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other power accessories. If the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and then closes after a cool down period, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Caution!
Spilling liquid on any electrical components on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.
Do not add anything electrical to your vehicle unless you check with your dealer first.
Some add-on electrical equipment can keep other components from working as they should.
Add-on equipment can drain your vehicle’s battery, even if your vehicle is not operating.
Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.
Location of Fuse Boxes
Instrument Panel Fuse Block: The instrument panel fuse block access door is located on the driver’s side edge of the instrument panel. Pull off the cover to access the fuse block.
Center Instrument Panel Fuse Block: The center instrument panel fuse block is located underneath the instrument panel, to the left of the steering column.
Underhood Fuse Block: The underhood fuse block is located in the engine compartment, on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Lift the cover to access the fuse block.
The windshield wiper motor is protected by an internal circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
