How to Replace the Fuses in a Nissan Altima

Any year of Nissan Altima that you own, from 1993 until now, could blow a fuse. When your lights stop working and it isn't due to the bulbs, or you experience any other electrical outage, it may be a fuse. In just a few minutes and with no tools, you can replace most fuses yourself.

Things You'll Need

• Fuse puller
• Same rating fuse

Instructions

1. Turn off your car before you remove the fuse that's blown. Look for the fuse boxes, located both in your engine compartment and under the dashboard in a Nissan Altima.

2. Open the fuse box and look at the inside cover. This will identify the location of the fuse you need.

3. Use the fuse puller in the middle of the passenger compartment fuse box to remove the fuse. A blown fuse has a burned-out wire.

4. Get a new fuse of the same rating and click it into place. This information will be found on old fuse or listed on the fuse box cover.

5. Close the fuse box cover and try out the new fuse once you have started your Altima.

Tips & Warnings

• Most often the passenger compartment fuse box will hold the most common fuses for your Altima--check there first to save time.
