How to Replace the Fuses in a Nissan Pathfinder

The Nissan Pathfinder has been around since the 1980s, with some changes introduced through the years. However, the process for changing a fuse is the same. Replacing a blown fuse on your own takes little time and money and you can do it without help.

Instructions

1

Turn off your Pathfinder. Then find the two fuse boxes--one in the engine compartment behind the battery and the other in the passenger compartment under the dashboard.

2

Pull down the appropriate fuse box cover to open it. Read the listings on the inside cover to locate the fuse that needs removed.

3

Remove the fuse using a fuse puller or squeeze it between your thumb and index finger. Check the wire inside and verify it's burned.

4

Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same rating. Verify the fuse rating against what's listed on the fuse box. For example, a 2004 Pathfinder uses 3 mini fuses in the passenger compartment of 10 amperage for the instrument cluster.

5

Close the fuse box cover and start the Pathfinder. Check your new fuse and make sure it works.
