Instrument Panel Fuse Block The 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. To remove fuses if you don't have a fuse extractor, hold the end of the fuse between your thumb and index ﬁnger and pull straight out. You may have spare fuses located behind the fuse block access door. These can be used to replace a bad fuse. However, make sure it is of the correct amperage.
