Where is the fuel pump fuse on Nissan Almera: search, check and replacement

Nissan Almera - a popular car, but even it has typical malfunctions, one of which is related to the failure of the fuel pump. Often the problem lies not in the pump itself, but in a blown fuse or relay. In this article we will look at where is the fuel pump fuse located on different generations Almera (including N16, G15 And Tino), how to check and replace it without contacting service.

If your Nissan If it suddenly stalls and won’t start, but the starter turns, but the engine doesn’t crank, the first thing to do is check the fuel pump fuse. It takes 5 minutes and can save hundreds of rubles on diagnostics. We have collected current diagrams of fuse blocks, photos of their locations and step-by-step instructions with nuances for different bodies.

Signs of a faulty fuel pump fuse

Before looking for the fuse, make sure that this is the problem. Here key symptomsindicating a problem in the fuel pump power circuit:

• 🚗 The engine does not start, although the starter works (there is no characteristic buzzing of the pump when the ignition is turned on).
• ⚡ Lights up on the dashboard Check Engineand the scanner shows an error P0190 (fuel pressure sensor circuit malfunction).
• ⛽ The car stalls while driving, then starts only after it cools down (typical of pump overheating due to poor contact in the fuse).
• 🔧 When you scroll the key to the position ON I can’t hear the click of the fuel pump relay (located next to the fuse).

If any of these signs appear, 90% probabilitythat the problem is in the fuse, relay or the pump itself. But it’s worth starting diagnostics with the simplest thing - checking the fuse.

⚠️ Attention: On Nissan Almera N16 (2000-2006) The fuel pump fuse is often confused with the cooling fan fuse. They are located nearby, but have different denominations: 15A for pump and 20A for a fan. If you mix them up, you can burn your electronics!

Where is the fuel pump fuse on a Nissan Almera: diagrams by generation

The location of the fuse depends on the generation and body Almera. Below is exact guide with photos and diagrams for the most common versions.

1. Nissan Almera N16 (2000–2006)

On N16 The fuel pump fuse is in interior fuse box, which is located under the glove compartment on the driver's side. To access:

1. Open the driver's door and crouch down to see the space under the glove compartment.
2. Press the latches of the fuse box cover (it is plastic, gray).
3. Find the fuse marked F19 (face value 15A).

Designation	Rating (A)	Purpose
F19	15	Gasoline pump
F20	10	Engine ECU
F21	10	Oxygen sensor
R12	—	Fuel pump relay

Fuel pump relay (R12) is located in the same block, next to the fuse. It can be checked by swapping places with a similar relay (for example, a fan relay).

2. Nissan Almera G15 (2012–2019)

On G15 (including restyled versions) the fuel pump fuse has been moved to engine compartment block, which is next to the battery. Look for it using the following algorithm:

• 🔧 Open the hood and remove the protective cover of the fuse box (it is black, with latches).
• 🔍 Find the fuse F30 (face value 15A) - he is responsible for the fuel pump.
• 🔄 Fuel pump relay on G15 designated as K20 and is located in the same block.

F29	10	Injection system
K20	—	Fuel pump relay
F31	10	Crankshaft position sensor

On Almera G15 with engine HR16DE The fuel pump fuse is sometimes duplicated in the cabin unit (under the steering wheel). If everything is in order in the engine compartment, check the cabin unit - there may be an additional fuse there F10 (10A).

3. Nissan Almera Tino (2002–2006)

On Tino (compact van based on N16) the fuel pump fuse is located similarly N16 - in interior unit under the glove compartment. However, there is a nuance: on some versions it is designated as F22 (15A), and not F19.

Fuel pump relay Tino located in a separate relay block, which is located behind the glove box. To get to it:

1. Open the glove compartment and remove it from its hinges (press the latches on the sides).
2. Behind the glove compartment you will see a black relay block. The required relay is R15.

What to do if the fuse is intact but the pump does not work?

If the fuse is good, check:

1. **Fuel pump relay** - swap it with a similar one (for example, with a fan relay).

2. **Wiring** - the contacts on the pump connector often oxidize (you need to remove the rear seat and check the block).

3. **The pump itself** - when you turn on the ignition, it should buzz. If there is silence, the pump has burned out.

4. **Fuel pressure sensor** - if it is faulty, the ECU can turn off the pump.

How to check the fuel pump fuse: step-by-step instructions

Checking the fuse takes less than a minute, but requires care. Here step-by-step algorithm:

1. Turn off the ignition and remove the negative terminal from the battery.

2. Locate the fuse box (see diagrams above).

3. Remove the fuel pump fuse with tweezers (or pliers).

4. Visually inspect it - if it is burned out, a broken thread inside will be visible.

5. Check with a multimeter in the “continuity” mode (it should beep when you touch the contacts).-->

If the fuse is blown, don't rush to change it. First check:

• 🔌 **Contact state** in the block - often they oxidize, causing the fuse to overheat.
• 🔋 **Voltage at the pump terminals** (should be 12V when the ignition is turned on).
• 🛠️ **Wiring integrity** - frayed wires can cause a short circuit.

If the fuse blows again after replacement, short circuit problem. In this case, you need to diagnose the wiring or the pump itself.

⚠️ Attention: On Nissan Almera G15 with the system Easy Start (engine start button) the fuel pump fuse may burn out due to a faulty immobilizer. Before replacing the fuse, check whether the immobilizer light on the dashboard is flashing.

How to replace a fuel pump fuse: nuances and errors

Replacing the fuse seems simple, but there is key pointsthat many people miss:

1. Use a fuse of the same rating. If you put 20A instead of 15A, you risk burning the wiring.
2. Check the relay. If the fuse is intact and the pump does not work, the relay could be stuck. Swap it with a similar one (for example, with a low beam relay).
3. Clean the contacts. Oxidized contacts in the fuse box are a common cause of repeated burnout. Use WD-40 or alcohol.

On Almera N16 After replacing the fuse it is sometimes necessary reset ECU errors. To do this:

1. Disconnect the battery terminal for 10 minutes.
2. Plug it back in and try starting the car.
3. If it catches fire Check Engine, use a scanner to reset the error P0190.

Frequently asked questions about the fuel pump fuse on Nissan Almera

We have collected top 5 questionsthat are asked by the owners Almera if there are problems with the fuel pump.

🔧 Why does the fuel pump fuse burn out again after replacement?

This indicates short circuit in the chain. Reasons:

• Damaged wire insulation under the car (often chafed near the gas tank).
• Faulty fuel pump (may short internally).
• Problems with the relay (contacts could be soldered).

Solution: Disconnect the fuel pump connector and check if the fuse blows without load. If yes, look for a short circuit in the wiring. If not, the problem is in the pump.

🚗 Is it possible to drive without a fuel pump fuse if you install a bug?

Absolutely not! The fuse protects the wiring from fire. If you put a wire ("bug") instead of it, in case of a short circuit it can:

• The wiring under the car burned out.
• The engine ECU has failed.
• A fire may occur (especially dangerous near the gas tank!).

If the fuse blows frequently, find the cause rather than fixing the symptom.

🔍 How to check the fuel pump relay without a multimeter?

You can do this “by ear” and using the replacement method:

1. Turn the key to position ON (don't start the car).
2. Listen - you should hear a click of the relay and a slight whirring of the pump (1-2 seconds).
3. If there is no click, swap the relay with a similar one (for example, with a fan relay).
4. If the pump starts working after replacement, the relay is faulty.

💡 What fuses should I check if the fuel pump doesn’t work?

On Nissan Almera The following are responsible for the operation of the fuel pump:

• F19/F30 - main pump fuse (15A).
• F20/F29 - ECU or injection system fuse (10A).
• F10 - additional fuse on some G15 (10A).

Also check main fuse in the engine compartment (usually 80A or 100A).

🛠️ Is it possible to change the fuel pump on Almera yourself if the fuse is intact?

Yes, but this is a labor-intensive procedure. On N16 And G15 the algorithm is like this:

1. Remove the rear seat (on G15 - right side).
2. Under the carpet, find the gas tank flap (attached with 4 bolts).
3. Disconnect the pump connector and fuel line tube.
4. Remove the pump retaining ring (you will need a special puller or a hammer with a wooden spacer).
5. Remove the pump and replace it with a new one (eg Bosch 0 580 454 035 for G15).

Difficulty: on Almera N16 the retaining ring often sticks, and G15 It may be necessary to replace the coarse fuel filter (mesh).

Conclusion: algorithm of actions for problems with the fuel pump

Let us summarize in the form step by step plan:

1. 🔍 Diagnostics: Check the fuse (F19 for N16, F30 for G15).
2. 🔄 Replacement: If it burns out, install a new one of the same value.
3. 🛠️ Relay test: Swap places with a known worker.
4. 🔌 Wiring diagnostics: Check the circuit from the fuse to the pump.
5. 🚗 Test drive: If everything is in order, but the car does not start, check the pump itself.

In 80% of cases, the problem is solved by replacing the fuse or relay. If the pump does not work despite working electrics, you will have to dismantle it and check the fuel pressure or replace it with a new one.

Finally - useful life hack: Always carry spare fuses with you (10A, 15A, 20A) and relay. On Nissan Almera they often break down on the road, and replacing them takes a couple of minutes.
