Fuse box in Nissan Juke - this is a key element of the electrical system that protects the on-board network from overloads and short circuits. Without good fuses, even a minor malfunction can destroy expensive components: from headlights to the engine control unit. However, many owners encounter difficulties in finding a block, deciphering a circuit, or replacing a burnt-out element.
In this article we will look at all modifications Nissan Juke (F15, 2010–2019 and JF1, 2019–present), we will show where the main and additional fuse blocks are located, and provide current diagrams with the purpose of each element. Let us dwell separately on typical mistakes when replacingwhich may cause the fuse to blow again or even cause a fire. If this is your first time dealing with car electrics, don’t worry: the instructions are adapted for beginners, with step-by-step photos and video examples.
Where is the fuse box located in Nissan Juke?
B Nissan Juke provided two fuse blocks:
- 🔧 Main unit — located in the cabin, under the instrument panel on the driver’s side. Access to it opens after removing the decorative cover (on models before 2019) or turning the latch (on restyled versions).
- ⚡ Additional block — located in the engine compartment, next to the battery. Responsible for high-voltage circuits (for example, cooling fan, starter).
To get to the cabin unit:
- Open the driver's door and crouch down to see the bottom of the instrument panel.
- On models Juke F15 (2010–2019) press the latch at the bottom of the cover and pull it towards you. On Juke JF1 (2019–present) turn the plastic lock counterclockwise.
- Remove the cover and you will see a block with fuses and relays.
- F15 (2010–2019)
- JF1 (2019–present)
- I don't know the model
- Other
The additional unit in the engine compartment is usually hidden by a plastic cover with the inscription FUSE. To remove it, pull the tabs on the sides. Be careful: the contacts of the unit may be energized even with the ignition off!
⚠️ Attention: On hybrid versions Nissan Juke (For example, Juke Hybrid 2020+) high-voltage fuses are located separately, in a special block under the rear seat. Their replacement requires mandatory disconnection of the high-voltage battery at the service center!
Fuse box diagram Nissan Juke F15 (2010–2019)
Below is the current diagram for Nissan Juke first generation. The fuses are numbered according to the factory markings. Please note: The fuse rating (in amperes) is indicated on its body - never set an element with a different value!
| Fuse no. | Rating (A) | Purpose | Symptoms of a problem |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | Engine Control Module (ECM), Immobilizer | The engine does not start, it is on fire CHECK ENGINE |
| 5 | 15 | Headlights (low beam), dimensions | Headlights on one side don't work |
| 10 | 20 | Windshield wipers, windshield washer | The wipers do not move, no liquid splashes |
| 15 | 10 | Audio system, navigation | The radio does not turn on, the settings are reset |
| 20 | 30 | Heated rear window | The heating filaments do not work, the malfunction indicator is on |
The complete diagram for your modification can be found in instruction manual (section Fuses and Fusible Links) or on the sticker on the back of the unit cover. If the sticker has worn off, download official manual (registration required).
How to check a fuse without a tester?
If you don't have a multimeter at hand, you can visually inspect the fuse in the light. A working element has a whole metal thread inside. If the thread is burned out or the body is melted, the fuse must be replaced. However, this method is not always accurate: sometimes a thread break is invisible to the naked eye.
Fuse box diagram Nissan Juke JF1 (2019–present)
In the second generation Juke The fuse diagram has undergone changes due to updated electronics. For example, separate fuses appeared for systems ProPILOT (if installed) and keyless entry. Below are the key elements:
| Fuse no. | Rating (A) | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 10 | Keyless Entry System (Intelligent Key) |
| 8 | 15 | Rear view camera, parking sensors |
| 12 | 20 | Heated seats |
| 18 | 30 | Power trunk (if installed) |
On Juke JF1 With a hybrid installation, an additional slot appeared in the fuse box, number 25 (7.5A), which is responsible for the inverter circuits. Replacing it without disconnecting the high-voltage battery is strictly prohibited!
If your Juke equipped with a system NissanConnect, pay attention to fuse No. 7 (10A) - it protects the telematics module. When it burns out, remote engine starting and monitoring via the application stop working.
How to check and replace a fuse: step-by-step instructions
Replacing the fuse in Nissan Juke takes no more than 5 minutes, but requires care. Follow the algorithm:
Turn off the ignition and remove the key from the lock
Remove the fuse box cover
Take tweezers (usually attached to the block cover)
Prepare a new fuse of the same rating -->
Next:
- Using tweezers, remove the faulty fuse. If you don't have tweezers, you can carefully pry them off with a flat-head screwdriver.
- Inspect the contacts in the socket: if they are oxidized or burnt, clean them with alcohol or a special product (for example,
CRC Contact Cleaner). - Install a new fuse same denomination. The effort should be minimal - do not push!
- Close the unit cover and check the operation of the circuit.
If a new fuse blows immediately after installation, this indicates short circuit in the chain. Do not try to install a fuse of a higher rating - this may lead to a fire in the wiring!
To check the fuse with a multimeter:
- Place the device in continuity test mode (diode or beep icon).
- Touch the probes to the fuse contacts. The working element will show
0 ohm(or beeps).
Typical mistakes when working with fuses
Even experienced car owners sometimes make mistakes that lead to repeated breakdowns. Here are the most common:
- 🔥 Using "bugs" (homemade jumpers made of wire or foil). This may cause a fire!
- 🔄 Replacing the fuse with an element of a higher rating. For example, instead of 10A they put 15A, which leads to melting of the wiring.
- 💡 Ignoring the cause of combustion. If the fuse blows repeatedly, it is necessary to diagnose the circuit for a short circuit.
- 🔧 Moisture entering the block. After washing or rain, check to see if condensation has accumulated under the cover.
⚠️ Attention: On Nissan Juke with the system Start/Stop Fuse No. 14 (15A) is responsible for the operation of the starter. If the engine does not start after replacing this fuse, check starter relay (located nearby, in the same block).
Another typical problem is contact oxidation in the fuse block. This leads to poor contact and false alarms. For prevention, clean the contacts once a year with a special liquid (for example, Liqui Moly Kontaktreiniger) and apply a protective lubricant (for example, CRC 2-26).
Frequently asked questions about fuses Nissan Juke
Let's look at the most pressing questions from owners:
Is it possible to install a fuse of a lower rating than indicated in the diagram?
No, this will lead to its instant combustion at the slightest load. The fuse must strictly comply the nominal value indicated in the diagram. For example, if there is 15A in the circuit, and you put 10A, it will burn out when the headlights or heating are turned on.
Why did both headlights stop working after replacing fuse No. 5 (15A)?
Most likely burned low beam relay (located in the same block, designated as HEADLAMP RELAY). Check it with a multimeter or replace it with a known good one. Also inspect the lamps - perhaps both burned out at the same time.
Where is the cigarette lighter fuse located?
B Nissan Juke F15 This is fuse No. 22 (15A), in JF1 - No. 24 (20A). If the cigarette lighter does not work after replacement, check nest for foreign objects (coins, paper clips) - they often cause a short circuit.
Which fuse controls the alarm?
Fuse No. 17 (10A) is responsible for the standard alarm. If the alarm does not work after replacing it, check siren fuse (located separately, under the hood, in an additional block).
When to contact the service?
Not all fuse problems can be solved on your own. Contact your dealer or auto electrician if:
- 🔌 The fuse burns out immediately after replacement (a sign of a short circuit in the circuit).
- ⚡ Visible in the fuse box melted contacts or burn marks.
- 📶 Several circuits do not work at the same time (for example, headlights + windshield wipers).
- 🔋 On hybrid versions Juke indicator is on
HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING.
To diagnose a short circuit, the technician uses megohmmeter or tester with break detection function. The average cost of such a check is from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles. If the problem is in the wiring, you may need to re-soldering contacts or replacing the harness.
Never ignore a re-blown fuse! This could be the first sign of serious electrical problems, including a car fire.
Finally, let's remember: Check the condition of the fuse box regularly, especially before long trips. This will only take a few minutes, but will save you from unpleasant surprises on the road.
