How to Replace the Fuses in a Saturn VUE

The Saturn VUE was introduced in 2002. Whether you have one of these original models, or a newly redesigned 2008 model or later, an electrical fuse can go bad. When this happens, replace it with a good fuse quickly and cheaply.

Things You'll Need

  • New fuse with same rating
  • Turn off your Saturn VUE first. Find your fuse box under the hood near the battery.

  • Open the cover and look at the back of it. Listed, you'll find the location of all fuses housed there. For example, in a 2000 Saturn VUE the fuse for the cigarette lighter is in the end slot.

  • Pull out the fuse using your fingers or a fuse puller. Look at the wire in the middle to see if it's split or melted.

  • Replace the blown fuse with a new one that has the same rating. The cigarette lighter fuse in the 2000 Saturn VUE example listed in Step 2 uses a 20 amp fuse.

  • Push the new fuse in securely and close the fuse box cover. Restart your vehicle and verify that the new fuse works.
