If you own a Honda Civic for long enough, at some point you are going to have to change a fuse. Anytime part of the electrical system fails like power windows, power doors or moonroof, check to see if a fuse is blown before you take it to a mechanic. Of course you could always have a mechanic do it, but you will get charged no less than $100 to replace a $3 dollar fuse. Since replacing fuses isn't hard, it's best to learn how to do it yourself.
Get out the owner's manual for the Honda Civic. The owner's manual has a diagram that shows you what each fuse controls on the car. If you don't have the owner's manual any longer, you can try the link below in the Resources section. Otherwise Google the term "Honda Civic Fuse Diagram".
Locate the fuse number on the diagram that correlates to your car problem. Example if the driver's side power window won't roll up or down, look for a fuse labeled something similar to "power window".
Next see where the fuse box is located. There are two fuse boxes. One is under the hood and one is directly under the steering wheel on the interior of the car. The fuse diagram will tell you which fuse box the fuse is located in.
Using the fuse puller, located in the fuse box under the hood, remove the fuse. If you do not have the fuse puller, you can use needle nose pliers instead.
Look inside the fuse where you will see a zigzag pattern, which is usually white colored. If the zig zag pattern is broken, the fuse is blown and must be replaced.
Take the fuse to any auto supply store and tell them the year, make and model of your Honda Civic.
Replace the fuse using the fuse puller or pliers, by pushing it in firmly but gently.
