Have you ever been driving down the road and suddenly your car starts acting up? Maybe the lights go out, the radio stops working, or the engine starts sputtering. If this has happened to you, it's likely that a fuse has blown. Fuses are small, inexpensive devices that protect your car's electrical system from damage. When too much current flows through a fuse, it blows, interrupting the circuit and preventing any further damage. Replacing a blown fuse is a simple and inexpensive way to get your car back up and running again.
If you're not sure which fuse to replace, you can refer to your car's fuse box diagram. This diagram will show you the location of each fuse and what it protects. Once you've identified the blown fuse, you can simply pull it out and replace it with a new one. Be sure to use the correct amperage fuse, as using a fuse with too high of an amperage could cause damage to your car's electrical system.
Underhood Fuse Box Locations
The underhood fuse box is located in the engine compartment, near the battery. It contains fuses that protect the electrical components in the engine compartment, such as the engine control module, fuel injection system, and ignition system.
To access the underhood fuse box, open the hood and locate the black plastic cover on the driver's side of the engine compartment. Remove the cover to access the fuses.
The fuses in the underhood fuse box are arranged in rows and columns. Each fuse is labeled with its amperage rating and the circuit it protects. If a fuse is blown, it will need to be replaced with a new fuse of the same amperage rating.
Here is a diagram of the underhood fuse box:

1998 Honda Civic Fuse Box Diagram (Underhood)
The underhood fuse box is located in the engine compartment, next to the battery. It contains fuses for various electrical systems in the vehicle, such as the engine, lights, and horn.
To access the underhood fuse box, open the hood and locate the black plastic cover next to the battery. Remove the cover to expose the fuse box.
The fuse box diagram is printed on the inside of the cover. It shows the location and amperage of each fuse.
If a fuse is blown, it will need to be replaced with a new fuse of the same amperage. To replace a fuse, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull the old fuse out of the socket. Then, insert a new fuse into the socket and press it down until it clicks into place.
Here is a table of the fuses in the underhood fuse box:
| Fuse | Amperage | Circuit |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10A | Fuel pump |
| 2 | 15A | Engine control module |
| 3 | 10A | Ignition coil |
| 4 | 15A | Headlights |
| 5 | 10A | Tail lights |
| 6 | 10A | Horn |
| 7 | 15A | Power windows |
| 8 | 10A | Radio |
Dashboard Fuse Panel Locations
The dashboard fuse panel is located on the driver's side of the dashboard, behind the plastic cover. To access the fuse panel, you will need to remove the plastic cover by prying it off with a flathead screwdriver.
The fuse panel is labeled with the location of each fuse. The fuses are color-coded to indicate their amperage rating.
Here is a diagram of the dashboard fuse panel:

To access the dashboard fuse panel, you will need to remove the lower dash panel. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the driver's side door.
- Remove the two screws that are located at the bottom of the lower dash panel.
- Pull the lower dash panel straight towards you to remove it.
Once you have removed the lower dash panel, you will be able to access the dashboard fuse panel. The fuse panel is a black plastic box that is located on the driver's side of the dashboard, below the steering wheel.
To identify the fuse that you need to replace, consult the fuse panel diagram that is located on the inside of the fuse panel cover. The fuse panel diagram will show you the location of each fuse and the circuit that it protects.
Once you have identified the fuse that you need to replace, use a pair of fuse pliers to remove it. Be sure to replace the blown fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage.
Once you have replaced the blown fuse, reinstall the fuse panel cover and the lower dash panel.
