Warning! Before replacing a fuse, it is necessary to determine and eliminate the cause of its blown. In order to avoid failure of electrical equipment elements, fuses with an increased rating or home-made fuses should not be installed.
Execution sequence
1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
Comment. The further course of the operation, presented in paragraphs 2-5, is valid only for the Astra model. On the Zafira model, it is enough just to remove the block cover.
2. To replace the fuse in the block located in the passenger compartment, open the box for small items in the instrument panel and remove it, squeezing along the edges to disengage the opening limiters from the instrument panel.
3. With a coin or any other flat object, turn the clamps of the mounting block cover by 90° (in the open position, the slot in the latch heads must be horizontal).
Comment. The cover of the mounting block is fixed with four clamps.
4. Remove the cover of the mounting block.
5. Press the latch and turn the mounting block towards you.
Comment. There is a fuse puller in the fuse and relay box.
6. According to the diagram on the back of the cover, and according to table 14.8 find the fuse of the faulty circuit and remove it.
A bad fuse can be identified by a blown filament.
Recommendation. Sometimes the thread of the fuse remains intact, while its connection inside the fuse is broken. It is impossible to visually determine such a malfunction. In this case, you can evaluate the condition of the fuse using an ohmmeter.
7. Install a new fuse of the appropriate rating.
8. We turn the mounting block away from us until it locks, put the cover of the mounting block and the box for small items in place.
9. To replace the fuses in the block located in the engine compartment, open the hood, press the latch and remove the block cover.
10. According to the diagram on the inside of the cover of the mounting block and according to table 14.10 (see p. 264) we find the fuse of the faulty circuit and remove it by prying it with a screwdriver.
11. Install a new fuse of the appropriate rating and close the cover of the fuse box.
12. To replace the relay in the main relay box located in the engine compartment, open the hood, press the latches and open the cover of the mounting block.
13. According to the diagram on the outside of the cover of the mounting block and according to table 14.11 find the relay of the faulty circuit.
14. We remove the faulty relay by shaking it from side to side.
Recommendation. You can verify that the relay is faulty by checking it (see «Relay test») or by installing another one that is known to be good in its place.)
15. Install a new relay of the same type as the faulty one. At the same time, we combine its conclusions with the grooves of the mounting block and sink it all the way.
16. Close the cover of the mounting block.
