Location of fuses, fuse links and their replacement (Chevrolet Aveo T300)

Most of the power circuits of the vehicle's electrical equipment are protected by fuses. Headlights, fan motors, fuel pump and other powerful consumers of current are connected via relays. Fuses and relays are installed in mounting blocks, which are located...



...in the engine compartment next to the battery...



...and in the cabin, under the instrument panel on the left side.

The designations of the fuses, fusible links and relays of the mounting block installed in the engine compartment are shown in Figure 10.1.



Table 10.1 shows the purpose of these fuses and fuse links, but some circuits shown in the table may not be present on a particular vehicle model.





The designations of the fuses, fusible links and relays of the mounting block installed in the instrument panel are shown in Figure 10.2.



Table 10.2 shows the purpose of these fuses and fuse links, but some circuits listed in the table may not be present on a particular vehicle model.



1. To gain access to the mounting block located in the engine compartment, press the retainer...





2. ...and remove its cover.



3. To access the mounting block located in the instrument panel, pull the bottom edge and remove the cover.

4. Before replacing a blown fuse or fusible link, determine the cause of the blown fuse and eliminate it. When searching for a fault, look at the circuits specified in Tables 10.1 and 10.2 that are protected by this fuse or fusible link.

NOTE: The fuse and fusible link locations are shown on the inside of the fuse block covers.

WARNING: Do not replace fuses with fuses rated for a different amperage or with homemade jumpers - this may damage electrical equipment and even cause a fire.

5. Remove tweezers A (see figure 10.1) from the holder in the mounting block located in the engine compartment.





6. Grasp the fuse with tweezers...



7. ...and remove it from the connector.

NOTE: This is what a blown fuse looks like (the jumper shown by the arrow inside the holder has burned out and opened). To replace a fuse, use a spare fuse of the same rating (and color).

8. Install a fuse of the same rating as the one removed into the contact connector.



9. If replacement is necessary, remove the relay from the mounting block by rocking it from side to side and install a new relay.

10. Replace fuse links in the same way as replacing relays.
