Where are the fuses in Nissan Juke: detailed instructions with photos and diagrams

Nissan Juke - a compact crossover with a bright design, but even such a reliable car periodically blows fuses. If your headlights, windshield wipers or cigarette lighter suddenly stop working, your first thought is to check fuse box. However, finding them is not so easy: in Juke (especially in models F15 And F16) fuses are distributed over several blocks, and their location depends on the year of manufacture and configuration.

In this article you will find exact fuse locations for all generations Nissan Juke, including detailed photos and descriptions. We will also tell you how to correctly diagnose the fault, replace the fuse and avoid common mistakes. If you are not sure which fuse is responsible for a non-working device, use correspondence table at the end of the section.

1. Where are the fuse boxes in Nissan Juke?

B Nissan Juke fuses are divided into three main blocks:

• 🔧 Main unit in the cabin (under the steering column) - is responsible for most electrical circuits (headlights, radio, cigarette lighter).
• 🚗 Block under the hood (next to the battery) - high power fuses are located here (fans, ABS, starter).
• 🔌 Additional unit in the trunk (only in some trim levels) - controls rear optics and auxiliary systems.

The exact location may vary slightly depending on the year of manufacture. For example, in Juke F15 (2010–2014) the unit under the hood is located to the left of the battery, and in F16 (2014–2019) - on the right. To avoid mistakes, be guided by block cover marking - there is usually a diagram on it.

2. Fuse diagram in the interior block (under the steering wheel)

The most popular unit is the salon unit. It is located to the left of the steering column, behind a plastic cover. To access:

1. Open the driver's door and crouch down to see the panel under the steering wheel.
2. Click on latch at the bottom of the lid and pull it towards you.
3. Remove the cover and you will see a block with fuses and relays.

On the inside of the lid there is usually diagram with symbols. If it is missing or has been erased, use our table:

Fuse number	Amps (A)	Purpose
1	10A	Cigarette lighter, 12V socket
5	7.5A	Low beam (left headlight)
10	15A	Audio system, navigation
15	20A	Windshield wipers, washers
20	10A	Dashboard lighting

Important: in models with a system NissanConnect The audio fuse (#10) may be 20A instead of 15A. Check the labeling!

3. Fuse box under the hood: location and diagram

The block under the hood is responsible for power electrics: starter, generator, cooling fans, ABS and other critical systems. Finding it is easy:

• 🔋 Open the hood and find the battery.
• 🔍 B Juke F15 the block is located to the left of the battery, in F16 — right (closer to the windshield).
• 🖐️ Press the lid latches and remove it.

The fuses in this block are larger (20A to 100A) and are often color coded. Here are the key elements:

Number/Color	Amps (A)	Purpose
30 (yellow)	100A	Main relay, generator
35 (green)	50A	Electric power steering
40 (red)	30A	Radiator cooling fan
45 (blue)	40A	ABS, stability control system

⚠️ Attention: Never replace fuses in the block under the hood by eye. For example, installing 60A instead of 30A in the fan circuit may result in wiring fire. Always use fuses with the rating specified in the diagram!

4. Trunk Accessory: Does your Juke have one?

Not all owners Nissan Juke know that some trim levels have third fuse block - it is located in the trunk, under the floor (usually on the left, next to the spare tire). This block is responsible for:

• 💡 Tail lights and brake lights.
• 🚪 Central locking and rear door windows.
• 🔋 Additional 12V socket (if installed).

To check its availability:

1. Open the trunk and lift up the carpet.
2. Find a plastic cap approximately 15×10 cm.
3. Unscrew the two screws (Phillips screwdriver) and remove the cover.

If there is no block, don’t worry: in basic configurations Juke he is often absent. In this case, all circuits in the rear of the car are controlled from the interior or engine compartment.

How can you tell if a fuse has blown?

A blown fuse has broken metal thread inside. Sometimes this can be seen with the naked eye, but it is better to use a tester: connect it to the fuse contacts in the “dial-in” mode. If there is no sound signal, the fuse is faulty.

5. How to properly replace a fuse in a Nissan Juke?

Replacing a fuse is a simple operation, but there are nuances that will help you avoid mistakes:

Turn off the ignition and remove the key|Find the faulty fuse (from the diagram or with a tester)|Use the tweezers from the fuse box|Install a new fuse of the SAME rating|Check the circuit operation-->

If the fuse blows again after replacement, this means short circuit in the circuit. In this case:

• 🔍 Check the wiring for damage (especially in kinks).
• 💡 Turn off all additional equipment (radio, cameras, alarm).
• 🚘 Contact an auto electrician for diagnostics.

⚠️ Attention: Do not use "bugs" (homemade wire fuses)! This may lead to wiring fire, especially in high-load circuits (such as electric power steering).

6. Common problems with fuses in Nissan Juke

Owners Juke often encounter typical faults related to fuses. Here are the most common:

Symptom	Possible fuse	Reason
Cigarette lighter doesn't work	No. 1 (10A, salon unit)	Short circuit in the outlet or connected device
Headlights do not light (low beam)	No. 5 and No. 6 (7.5A, cabin unit)	Circuit overload or lamp failure
Windshield wipers don't work	No. 15 (20A, salon unit)	Freezing of the mechanism or damage to the washer motor
Cooling fan does not turn on	No. 40 (30A, unit under the hood)	Engine overheating or temperature sensor malfunction

If a fuse blows again after replacement, don't stop at replacing it - look for root cause. For example, frequent cigarette lighter fuse blowing may indicate a problem with the 12V socket or connected inverter.

7. FAQ: Frequently asked questions about Nissan Juke fuses

🔹 Where can I find the fuse diagram for my Juke model?

The diagram is usually printed on back of the fuse box cover. If it is not there, download the instruction manual for your year of manufacture from the official website Nissan or use the tables in this article. For an accurate determination, you can use VIN decoder (for example, on the website Nissan Russia).

🔹 Is it possible to use a fuse of a higher rating?

No! Installing a fuse with overvalued (eg 20A instead of 10A) may result in wiring fire. Fuses are designed to protect a specific circuit - if it blows, it means the current exceeds the permissible value, and replacing it with a more “powerful” one only masks the problem.

🔹 Why does the cigarette lighter fuse blow out when the navigator is connected?

This happens due to overload. Standard 12V socket Juke designed for 10A (120 W). If your navigator or charger draws more (for example, 180 W), the fuse will blow. Solutions:

• Use a power strip with overload protection.
• Connect powerful devices directly to the battery.
• Replace the fuse with correct denomination (but not higher!).

🔹 How to check a fuse without a tester?

If you don't have a multimeter at hand, you can check the fuse visually:

1. Remove the fuse with tweezers.
2. Look in the light: if the metal thread inside is broken, the fuse has burned out.
3. Alternatively, replace it with a known good one of the same rating and check the circuit operation.

For accurate diagnostics, it is better to use the tester in the “diagnosis” mode.

🔹 What to do if after replacing the fuse the device still does not work?

In this case, the problem may be:

• Relay (located next to the fuses).
• Wiring (open or short circuit).
• The device itself (for example, a burnt out headlight bulb).

Check the relay (you can swap places with a known working one), inspect the wires for damage and test the device directly (for example, a lamp with a multimeter).
