Nissan Tiida The 2010 is a reliable compact car, but even its electrical circuits sometimes fail. Most often the culprit is burnt out fuses, which protect the on-board network from short circuits and overloads. If your headlights, power windows or audio system stop working, the first thing you should check is them.
In this article you will find detailed fuse diagrams for Nissan Tiida 2010 (including restyled versions), a description of each element, as well as step-by-step instructions for replacing them. We will also look at typical mistakes that owners make when working with electrical equipment, and we will explain how to avoid them. The material will be useful for both beginners and experienced car owners who want to save on service costs.
Where are the fuse boxes in Nissan Tiida 2010
B Nissan Tiida 2010 model year provided two main fuse boxes:
- 🔧 Main unit in the cabin — located to the left of the steering column, behind the protective cover. Fuses for most consumers are concentrated here: lighting, climate control, audio systems, etc.
- 🚗 Additional block under the hood — located next to the battery (in the engine compartment). Responsible for high power circuits: cooling fans, starter, generator.
Also in some configurations may be present third block — it is installed in the luggage compartment (behind the trim on the left side) and is responsible for the circuits of the rear lights, heated seats and the multimedia system. However, in basic versions Tiida 2010 it is often absent.
To gain access to the cabin unit, it is enough open the lid by hand, prying it from the side. In the engine compartment, the cover is secured with latches - a flat-head screwdriver may be needed here.

Decoding the fuses of the cabin unit
Salon block Nissan Tiida 2010 contains about 40 fuses, each of which is responsible for a specific circuit. Below is a table with a breakdown of the most important elements (numbers may vary slightly depending on the configuration):
| Number | Amperage (A) | Purpose | Symptoms of a problem |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | Body Control Module (BCM) | Power windows and central locking do not work |
| 7 | 15 | Audio system, navigation | The radio does not turn on, there is no sound |
| 12 | 10 | Cigarette lighter | 12V socket does not work |
| 18 | 15 | Low beam (left headlight) | The left headlight does not light up in low beam mode |
| 25 | 20 | Heated rear window | The rear window does not heat, there is no indication on the panel |
The complete diagram can be found in instruction manual your car (section "Electrical equipment"). If the manual is not at hand, download it electronically from the official website Nissan or on thematic forums (for example, tiidaclub.ru).
⚠️ Attention: fuse №20 (10A) responsible for the work immobilizer. If it burns out, the car may not start. Always have a spare!
Engine compartment fuse box: what you need to know
Block under the hood Nissan Tiida 2010 contains powerful fuses (30 to 100 A) that protect critical circuits:
- ⚡ Generator (100A fuse)
- 🔥 Starter (50A)
- ❄️ Cooling fans (40A)
- 💡 Headlights (high beam) (15A)
The special feature of this block is use of blade type fuses, which differ from salon ones in size. Also installed here relay, responsible for turning on the fans, fuel pump and other systems.
When replacing fuses in the engine compartment Be sure to disconnect the negative terminal of the batteryto avoid short circuit. Also check the condition of the contacts - oxidation can cause false alarms.
How to distinguish a fuse from a relay?
Fuses have a transparent housing with a visible jumper inside, while relays have a black or gray plastic housing with metal legs. On the cover of the block there is usually a diagram showing where everything is located.
Step-by-step instructions for replacing fuses
Replacing the fuse in Nissan Tiida 2010 - a simple procedure, but requires care. Follow this algorithm:
- Turn off the ignition and make sure that all consumers (headlights, radio) are turned off.
- Find the faulty fuse according to the diagram or visually (a burned-out jumper will be torn).
- Remove the fuse special forceps (they are usually attached to the block cover) or tweezers.
- Install a new fuse same denomination (amperages!). Using a high current fuse may cause a fire!
- Check circuit operation. If the fuse blows again, look for a short circuit.
If you don't have pliers at hand, you can carefully remove the fuse two fingers, but do not use excessive force - the plastic holders are fragile.
☑️ Preparing to replace the fuse
⚠️ Attention: Never replace the fuse with "bug" (wire, foil, etc.). This may lead to car fire! B Tiida 2010, the wiring in the area of the pedal assembly is especially vulnerable - a short circuit here often causes fires.
Typical fuse problems and their causes
Owners Nissan Tiida 2010 often faced repeated blown fuses. This is a signal of a more serious problem. Let's look at the most common cases:
- 🔋 Cigarette lighter fuse (10A) burns out due to the use of powerful devices (vacuum cleaners, compressors). Solution: Connect them directly to the battery.
- 💡 Low beam fuse (15A) lights up when installing LED lamps. Reason: increased starting current. Solution: use lamps with stabilization driver.
- 🚪 Power window fuse (20A) fails due to wear of the mechanism or moisture entering the door. Solution: lubricate the guides and check the seals.
- 🔊 Audio fuse (15A) may burn out when connecting a subwoofer without an additional fuse. Solution: install a separate fuse on the amplifier power line.
If the fuse blows immediately after replacement, it is necessary to check the circuit for short circuit using a multimeter. B Tiida 2010, frequent problems arise in the wiring harness under the front panel (especially in the area of the heater control unit).
Before replacing the audio system fuse, check if the wires are pinched behind the rear wall of the radio - this is a common cause of short circuits in Nissan Tiida.
How to check a fuse without a tester
If you don't have a multimeter at hand, you can check the fuse visually or using the simplest means at hand:
- Visual inspection: a blown jumper inside the fuse will torn or melted. Some fuses have an indicator (red dot) that dims when it blows.
- Checking for spark:
- Turn on the circuit that the fuse protects (such as a headlight).
- Touch the metal ends of the fuse
bare wire(stripped 1 cm). - If a spark appears, the fuse is good.
To check the fuses in the engine compartment, you can use 12 volt light bulb with wires. Connect it to the fuse contacts - if the lamp is on, the circuit is working.

Using improperly rated fuses is a leading cause of fires in automobiles. Always follow the markings!
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about fuses for Nissan Tiida 2010
Is it possible to install a fuse of a higher rating if it constantly blows?
No! This is extremely dangerous. The fuse is designed for a certain current, and replacing it with a more powerful one can lead to melted wiring or a fire. If the fuse blows repeatedly, look for the cause - usually a short circuit or a faulty consumer (for example, a window lift motor).
Which fuse controls the dashboard lights?
B Nissan Tiida 2010 The fuse controls the instrument panel lights No. 10 (10A) in the salon block. If after replacing it the backlight does not work, check the lamps in the instrument panel or the instrument cluster control unit.
Why does the cooling fan fuse blow?
Most often this happens due to:
- Short circuit in the fan motor (check the winding).
- Moisture getting into the connectors (clean and lubricate the contacts).
- Fan relay faulty (replace relay
K26in the engine compartment).
If the fan does not turn on and the fuse is intact, check the temperature sensor or thermostat.
Where is the alarm fuse located?
B Nissan Tiida 2010 standard alarm protected by fuse No. 28 (10A) in the salon block. If you have a non-standard alarm installed, its fuse may be located in a separate block (usually hidden under the dashboard on the driver's side).
How to protect fuses from oxidation?
To prevent contact oxidation:
- Periodically (once a year), remove fuses and clean contacts alcohol solution.
- Apply to contacts special lubricant (For example, Liqui Moly Kontaktreiniger).
- Monitor the humidity in the cabin - if water gets into the fuse box, they quickly corrode.
