Main Menu Table Of Contents Fuses If you cannot drive the vehicle without fixing the problem, and you do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the same rating or a lower rating from one of the other circuits. Make sure you can do without that circuit temporarily (such as the accessory power socket or radio). If you replace the blown fuse with a spare fuse that has a lower rating, it might blow out again. This does not indicate anything wrong. Replace the fuse with one of the correct rating as soon as you can. 6. If the replacement fuse of the same rating blows in a short time, there is probably a serious electrical problem with your vehicle. Leave the blown fuse in that circuit, and have your vehicle checked by a qualified technician. If the driver's power window fuse is removed, the AUTO function of the driver's window may be disabled. You should reset the AUTO feature, (see page 95 ). Except for LX models Trailer Fuses If a trailer light is burned out, check if these fuses are blown when you replace the light bulbs: Primary under-hood fuse box fuses 5, 7, and 24 Interior driver's side fuse box: 10 Interior passenger's side fuse box: 10 If those fuses are OK, but the trailer lights still do not work, there are two blown 7.5 amp fuses in the trailer hitch wiring. To access the 7.5 amp fuses: 1. Open the tailgate and remove the cargo floor lid. 2. Pull out the bottom of the tailgate rubber seal. 3. Remove rear trim panel by pulling up on the inside edge of the rear trim panel, and unhooking the four clips and tabs. 4. After replacing fuses, and reinstall the rear trim panel in the reverse order of removal. Replacing a f use with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system. If you do not have a replacement f use with the proper rating f or the circuit, install one with a lower rating. If the radio fuse is removed, the audio system will disable itself. The next time you turn on the radio you will see ''ENTER CODE'' in the frequency display. Use the preset buttons to enter the digit code (see page 141 ). 288 2008 Pilot
