Subaru Forester: Maintenance and service / Fuses

CAUTION

Never replace a fuse with one having a higher rating or with material other than a fuse because serious damage or a fire could result.

The fuses are designed to melt during an overload to prevent damage to the wiring harness and electrical equipment. The fuses are located in two fuse boxes.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”/ “OFF” position and turn off all electrical accessories.
  2. Remove the cover.
  3. Determine which fuse may be blown. Look at the back side of each fuse box cover and refer to “Fuses and circuits”.
