Vehicle Fuse Box Replacement

Today we'll be showing how to remove and replace a fuse and relay box. Modern vehicles typically have at least two fuse and relay boxes; one under hood and the other inside the cabin. Ultimately, they act as the nerve center for your vehicle. Operating the headlights, rear defroster, blower motor, cooling fans, radio, door locks, windows, bluetooth, gauge cluster, etc...is all possible with the use of fuse boxes and relay boxes. You may need to replace one due to a collision, mishap, flood or just to give you more working room. This specific vehicle is a 2003 Honda Accord.

There are many tutorials but 99% fail at showing and including the watcher. You have done amazing and did an outstanding job at pointing out what you’re doing every step and making sure the viewer wasn’t forgotten. I don’t leave comments but you have just done a great job and was praise worthy. I appreciate your effort and hard work.

[@demetriusbutler8954]

I appreciate what you have done on putting in the fuse box. You are a very good teacher and I have learned alot. Thank you very much.

[@harryv6752]

Great and very informative video. Figured I'd pull out the fuse box in my 06 Accord for a through cleaning as I noticed some corrosion on some of the fuses. Thanks for the tip!

[@CarsNToys]

Glad it helped

[@Americanboy5150]

So my 2005 Acura electric is going haywire . Lights actually flashed on and off while car was off in driveway . Also this is the second time I’ve blown the same fuse . Would replacing the whole fuse box make since in my case ?Radio hasn’t been working and some interior lights not working

If you replace a fuse box on a modern car will things need to be programmed, like if you changed the body control unit. I must say ..great videos which are giving me a bit of confidence. Thanks

[@zaduhel4595]

Very understanding and precise procedures. Thanks,

[@gracec1665]

Fantastic video! I have a 2007, Pilot. Would the process to replace the fuse box be the same? My fuse box is a built-in undercarriage. I don't have anyone to help me, so I'm going to try to change it myself. Any pointers? And is the process the same with my car? Thank you for your help.

[@jhongery3853]

Hi, I learned much from your tutorial and thank you. My Acura 2005 tl both fans don't work. The fans & relays function well but inside the fuses terminals 6,5,3,2,1 don't work. I wondering if you give me an explanation Thank you again

[@stephenpatrick8068]

Excellent video thank you so much

[@robertking302]

Do you have a video on changing out the exterior fuse box. I had a fender bender and it busted the entire box how do you have to change the whole wiring harness

[@jordanroberts8270]

Man thank you I was super intimidated by this because of all the wires

[@thumbnasiuminc4373]

This is great. Do you happen to have the part number for this fusebox?

Sir can tell me if we replace whole fuse & relay box, do we need same model or in Honda Accord from 2003 to 2007 are all same? In case we replace with used parts, appreciate your help

Can you make a video showing where the ELD is located, I have a 2004 Honda Accord ex V6 and my battery light and srs light keep flashing when I’m driving I change my battery and alternator and cables just need to know if the eld on Honda Accord can be change

[@fredcdobbs823]

Would you know how to fix a loose 20-amp blade fuse that won't fit tightly in the fuse box?

[@joethepro7050]

So no ground wire to the main box? Only positive 12v and alternator wire in?

I wish I could give more than one thumbs up

Thanks, I like to work on my cars myself.

my 2004 base model RSX dashboard lights aren’t working would the problem be the fuse box ?

[@CarsNToys]

Most likely one fuse is blown.

[@miguelangel6984]

@@CarsNToys thank you ! and would you know which fuse would it be or where can i find the correct one so it can work ?

[@lemoine5]

@@miguelangel6984 , there is usually a schematic printed on the underside of the cover. at least there is on the under hood fuse box. If all else fails, ask Google and you usually get some sort of idea. Good luck.

Does the fuse box don't need reprogramming

[@jamieking150]

I need to change under dash fuse box. Radio, mirror, & cig lighter problems. Noticeable damage under one of the fuse locations located in “UD” fuse box. No fuses blown. When I wiggle the radio fuse the radio flickers. I feel like this will fix everything.

[@jamieking150]

Helping Hands Network if you can get the in cabin fuse box totally exposed then you can unplug all fuses that belong to the cars wiring harness. This should free the fuse box. I fixed mine by doing this. Keep in mind I had to remove the whole dashboard 1st. I’m a beginner, but this did the job for me by swapping my faulty burn damaged fuse box out for one that I got at the pull apart. Let me know how you turn out man.

[@TimFrentz]

@@jamieking150 there is a physical lip catch or tab or prong keeping it in place on the top that is invisible. Do you have the old one handy to send me a picture of the top back side? That would answer the puzzle. No need to unplug anything. I just need to move it over 2 inches away from the air actuator.

[@themanfromcabowabo1559]

Those fuses don’t have to be pulled to check them. There’s contact points (tiny holes) for an ohmmeter at the top on each side. You can run through them pretty quick. Hope that helps.

[@The88AB]

What if we don't have that tool ? :(

[@speedybailey2944]

My Honda Accord v6 low beam headlights just stopped workin at the same time , I checked all the fuses , no luck any suggestions

[@kittypoofery]

Nice video! How much does the fuse box itself usually cost (interior and under the hood)?

[@lemoine5]

I paid about $205...before taxes and shipping....for the under hood only for my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer SS.

[@geozerogeorge8050]

Awesome video! Thank you. I bought a wrecked Truck at an auction and the fuse box was smashed. I got another fuse box, but was 'scared' to swap it out. This helps a BUNCH! I'm still a little concerned because the donor truck is a 2009 and mine is a 2013, but the trucks are almost identical in those model years (Tundra), but I'm still a little concerned about different options. For example if the donor didn't have a power rear window and mine does....with the hook up/accessories still work??? do you know? Thanks again! this really helps me out!

[@williamkrause5585]

The power windows and locks are fuses located on the interior junction box, so it would be fine.

[@jackiemiiers9845]

Great, right where you took the box off, is where I need to know how to fix or replace 2 or 3 loose fuse blades, so the fuse will stay in. I think that's why my ac fuse, horn fuse feel like nothing is holding the in, the fuse just sits and raddels, and no juice.

[@erikgarcia6537]

Great Video!! Good Details 👍

[@CoolBreezeAnthony]

You make it seem like fun.

[@crazzyickman159]

Can a bad fuse box cause the 50amp fuse to blow out in the engine bay fuse box?

[@winstonchaychel]

Is the grease really essential? When working electronics I've never had to grease any electrical parts or wiring harnesses. I'm assuming this is the same just on a larger scale, it has a PCB inside the plastic hub that the fuses and relays go into which I'm used to working on electronics. I've got minimal mechanic knowledge (maintenance and small repairs, essentially) so I didn't know if it was really essential. (By not greasing I mean non moving parts 🤣. Obvs if I'm building a small hover craft certain gears or whatever are getting greased) We're in the Midwest here with no salt water/oceans at all, just a butt ton of corn lol. Edit: I put my own junction box/block in about a week ago and she works ever since! I didn't use the grease (didn't have any)but will add it later.

[@chiefdenis]

The grease is to prevent corrosion, cars go through incredible conditions, it's just an extra layer of protection because the fuse box is essentially the central nervous system. You can also use dielectric grease on battery terminals to prevent corrosion and maintain optimal contact

[@winstonchaychel]

@@chiefdenis yup! I did it on there and the battery terminals too, works great now! Couldn't believe the whole time these last few years it was a bad junction block/box in one area. Only this was caused by a previous owner digging at it with the fuse, it was gnarly under the one.

[@pnrking]

Thanks alot❤

[@emmanuelmakris4066]

When installing the new fuse block do you transfer over all the original fuses/relays as well to the new block?

[@allangley2691]

I have a 96 Saturn my power locks started making noise. Where is the fuse for the lock s and lightsr

[@rxlegend3731]

my car doesn't have nearly as much wiggle room to take it apart even after removing the battery and air box, I am stumped as to how I am supposed to get this thing open all the way as there is a cable wrapped around it holding it in place that will not budge.

[@jccui4916]

You resolve your problem? I tried to replace 2013 Sienna fuse box, same issue as yours, and too much relay connector wire (over 100) need to disconnect. I stopped a half way.

1st! Yee haw! Great vid 👍

[@alejandromorgado9002]

anyone know if i need an original fuse box for my car as an replacement or can i buy a universal one if its available

[@ricardosom7766]

Okay here’s the issues I have. The fuse box burned out 2 out of 5 harnesses burned too. I got a new box and new connectors. Thinking to connect the wires one by one guided by their colors and then tape them. My question is, will that be safe enough just “taping” or do I need to get them soldered?? Thanks in advance for an advice..

[@akirby2886]

Do I have to disconnect the battery before I remove a fuse or relay?

[@kamalgilani1586]

I think it is a Honda car, then it is perfect.

I notice You did not put the year make and model Of the vehicle you are working On And then I realised You did not have to put the year make and model Because All the fuse boxes in all vehicles Are 100% the same

Anyone who needed to watch you remove the PD Box should not be be touching any of these things. You could have demo'd the testing of the wires to see why they were not powered up and showed the process of doing the repair. A waisted opportunity...
