Fuse Boxes Information.
« on: May 02, 2024, 08:57:02 AM »
Hello, Purchased a new Jazz Advance for the wife. Some may wonder why I am asking this question, it relates to an event with the last car she had. The fuse boxes under the bonnet and inside the car ( Passenger footwell ). They have identification like IG Main, IG Main 2 etc. I know IG means Ignition but how do I find out what circuit each fuse protects.  Years ago fuse box identifications would say accessories, lights, wipers etc so I knew what a fuse protected. So is there any way I can find a diagram, picture whatever for what each fuse protects. I understand the potential hazards of doing anything in this area but my qualifications and knowledge means I have a complete understanding of modern car electrics.  Many thanks for any replies.

Fuses are identified in the on line owners manual  for my 2021 car.  Probably also in the 2024 manual.

If you havnt got a manual you can view it and download a free pdf from Honda via this site

Many thanks Lord Voltimore. The manual you suggest shows the fuses but like I mentioned they are identified as IN, IN 2 etc. Unfortunately while IN etc means Ignition it doesn't identify what circuit the fuse protect.

Manufacturers these days dont want owners to be able to change oil bulbs etc why would they help you ID the fuses.
I would look at the design of the F box on ealier years then attempt top match the layout.

I have been motoring now for 45 years (I know, I'm still a "youngster")  :D and have owned various brands of cars.
Over all these years I never had a blown fuse that wasn't due to my own tampering with the car.

My take on blown fuses is this:
- if I have tampered with the car, I know exactly what to look for  ;)
- if I have NOT tampered with the car, I will have a professional look over the car because there must be something amiss (otherwise the fuse wouldn't have blown in the first place, would it?)

Regarding bulbs: As more and more of the car's light bulbs are now LEDs which are supposed to last a "lifetime" there is less and less of owner-replacable light bulbs.
On my MY24 Advance only the rear indicatiors, the trunk lightning and some of the interiour lights (vanitiy mirror lightning e.g.) are "real" bulbs.

And: The replacement of those - to my recollection - is clearly outlined in the manual.
