3.  Pull the fuse straight out with the 

fuse puller provided on the fuse block 

located in the engine compartment.

4.  Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is 

blown.

Blown

5.  Insert a new fuse of the same amperage 

rating, and make sure it fits tightly. If 

it does not fit tightly, have an expert 

install it. We recommend an Authorized 

Mazda Dealer.

  If you have no spare fuses, borrow one 

of the same rating from a circuit not 

essential to vehicle operation, such as 

the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.

CAUTION

Always replace a fuse with a genuine 

Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same 

rating. Otherwise you may damage 

the electric system.

6.  Reinstall the cover and make sure that 

it is securely installed.

Replacing the fuses under the hood

If the headlights or other electrical 

components do not work and the fuses 

in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse 

block under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it 

must be replaced. Follow these steps:

1.  Make sure the ignition is switched off, 

and other switches are off.

2.  Remove the fuse block cover.

3.  If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is 

blown, replace it with a new one 

of the 

same amperage rating

.

Blown
