Checking and Replacing Fuses in Subaru Forester

The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. 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. 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:
Located under the instrument panel behind the coin tray on the driver’s seat side. To remove the coin tray, open the cover and pull the coin tray out.

Engine Compartment Fuse Block:
The engine compartment fuse block is located under the hood on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
