Nissan Repair: 2004 Nissan Maxima Fuses, 2004 nissan maxima, nissan maxima

Question
Where is the fuse to the rear lights and top part of the dash board? My rear lights are out but my brake lights turn on. The top part of the lights on dash are also out, the buttons that control the radio. The other backlights on the dash board work, the buttons that control the AC and heater. Thanks!

Answer
Hi Kenley -

The fuse box is located under the dash driver's side. It should be labeled "PNL" or "INST" or something close to that. The manual will also tell you where it is.

You can also check by using a light type circuit tester, which will save a lot of time. Connect the wire to any metal part of the car, turn the ignition on, and place the probe on each terminal of the fuse. If one side lights, and the other does not, then you have found the burnt out fuse.

Hope this helps -
aloha
