FUSE LINK LOOKS LIKE A FUSE.JUST USE FUSE PULLER OR PAIR OF SMALL NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS TO REMOVE FUSE OR FUSE LINK TO ALTERNATOR..BESURE THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE IS DISCONNECTED FIRST TO KEEP SHORTING OUT OTHER FUSE LINKS AND FUSES IN THE CIRCUIT.TURN OFF RADIO FIRST BEFORE REMOVING NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE

Testimonial: "fast and helpful response to my issue."

    Thanks, however, the fuse I need to change is the Alt Fuse (120A), which is bolted to the bottom of the fuse box, that is why I am trying to remove the fuse box. Lexus doesnt seem to make anything easy.

    REMOVE BATTERY TO REMOVE OTHER FUSE BOX SCREWS.

    thanks- I finally found the last screw (behind the air-filter, which had to be removed), and got the fuse replaced. Unfortunately, this didnt fix the problem. the car still won't start- there doesnt seem to be power anywhere, other than the lights and the A/C.

    I think I am giving up and calling a tow!

    thanks for your help...

    One Last update. I decided to go ahead and take everything apart again and check the wires to the fuse, and sure enough, the wire on one side of the fuse was not connected to the screw, and of course, that was a problem! I went ahead and put the wire where it was supposed to go and whalla!, everything (except the radio) is working. I am guessing the radio has it's own fuse, but I will worry about that another day.

    Thanks again for your help-
    don.

Where is the Power Window fuse on a 2006 Buick Lacrosse.

There is no fuse. The circuit is protected by a breaker. The lower half of the diagram you're seeing is meant to reference that these relays are behind the fuses. A circuit breaker almost never goes bad, though, so your problem is most likely a regulator/motor assembly (if one window is inoperable) or the master switch on the driver's door panel (usually when all windows are inoperable)

How do i drop the fuse box to replace the bcm

Unscrew the two bottom plastic covers. With a 1/4 ratchet and 5/16 socket remove three black screws holding the fuse panel to it's mounting bracket. one screw is on the left side and two screws are on the right side all facing toward the driver. Unplug the two large wire connectors from the bottom of the BCM. You still cannot remopve the the fuse block but you don't need to. Next remove two screws on the right side of the fuse block with your small ratchet. You will need to have about a eight inch extension to remove the one screw that is located on the top of the left side of the fuse box. I used a mirrow to guide the socket straight up along side the fuse box and was able to remove the screw. It really was not a hard thing to do. When the three screws are removed, the BCM will slide down and seperate from the fuse box. Reverese the procedure the reinstall. Good Luck

Gem Module, Fuse Box and Window Reseal

This 1997 Ford F150 needs the GEM module changed due to multiple conditions. To see testing that lead to this repair please click here. The GEM module is located t the rear of the interior fuse box.
dsc02823.jpg
The first step is to remove the trim panel that covers the gap between the upper side of the steering column and the dash. It just unsnaps from the dash. It makes it a little easier to remove if you move the shifter all the way down to drive 1.
dsc02824.jpg
With that out of the way the lower dash cover can now be removed. Most of the screws have 7 mm heads but there are two that have 8 mm heads.
dsc02825.jpg
Those two are at the lower edge of the fuse box.
dsc02826.jpg
One wiring harness needs to be disconnected from the panel.
dsc02827.jpg
Now the screws for the fuse box can be removed.
dsc02828.jpg
The wiring harnesses can be removed from the back of the fuse box. Two 10 mm headed bolts at the center of each connector.
dsc02829.jpg

Next remove the tube brace from around the bottom of the steering column. Four fasteners with 13 mm heads.
dsc02830.jpg

Now wiggle, pry and twist the fuse box and GEM module assembly down.
dsc02831.jpg
After the assembly is down far enough unplug the remaining harness connectors from the GEM module.
dsc02832.jpg
Almost there.
dsc02837.jpg
The assembly is now free of the vehicle.
dsc02833.jpg
The GEM module is held to the back of the fuse box by three phillips headed screws.
dsc02834.jpg
Easy to remove Now.
dsc02836.jpg
With the three screws removed the GEM unplugs from the back of the fuse box.

I put it all back together and checked my repair for power to the driver's power window switch.

The driver's power window in my 2003 Toyota Camry will not go up----no motor sound or anything. What number/type fuse should I check?

The window/door lock fuse is a 30 amp fuse located behind the the coin box to the upper right corner of the blue relay box, it is hidden by the air conditioning vent tubing.The fuse is not immediately visible when you remove the coin tray, but it IS in the same fuse box. The fuse will be most probably PINK. ---------

Start by removing the coin tray on the left side of the steering wheel. Next remove the socket that the coin tray sits in, it should be fairly apparent how it comes out, there are just a couple screws holding it in that are visible as soon as you remove your coin tray. After you get the coin tray holder out, another couple screws become visible, remove them, along with 2 others on the left side of the steering wheel (we are removing the entire lower dash panel under the steering wheel). The top screw on the left side is hidden under a small pop-out blank cover, the lower screw you will be able to see by simply bending down under the bottom of the dash section. This whole panel should come off as soon as you have all of these screws removed. If it doesn't want to come off, you missed a screw or 2, look harder.

Once this panel is off, look at your fuse box. Now look to the right of the large group of fuses in the main panel, behind the A/C air duct. You should see 3 square fuses, 2 green and one pink. The pink fuse is in the middle between the green ones and is your power window and door lock fuse.--------------
Remove and replace this fuse with new fuse.Its easily available fuse from local auto part store.Its a 30 amp fuse.---------
But if you replace the fuse and still the problem, then its a possibility that window switch is faulty and it has to be replaced.----------- Check the fuse for 12 volt.--- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

2000 solara 4 cyl. many electricals do not work, but car starts!

You blew your ALT 100A fusible link behind the battery in your fuse box.
It is a large white/clear fuse-type square with a clear top. YOu should be able to see the 'fuse' through the clear top has blown.

The fusible link is bolted from the bottom. so you will need to lift the fuse box and pop the lower cover off enough to access the screws holding it on.

The ALT 100A link provides power to all of the items you listed that are inoperative, but the car will run fine without it :)

2003 Toyota Camry Alternator Fuze

To change the 100amp Alt fuse you need to get inside the fuse box. To do this remove the battery and then you'll need to remove the air intake to allow you to get to the screws to loosen the fuse box. Once you've removed the fuse you'll need to separate the top from the bottom, this can be done by inserting a small screw driver in the clips located around the outside of the box. Now you need to remove the screw on both the inside and outside which holds the 100amp fuse in place, the screw actually goes through the hole in the connector legs of the fuse. You should be able to see these holes in the legs of the new replacement fuse, so you know where they're located. It may be tricky but can be done, I've done it. Once you get both screws out the old fuse can be removed. Replace the old with the new fuse and reverse the process to replace all parts as before and you should have things running again. I did this with another helper as we were trouble shooting until we figured out that the legs were held by the two screws, one on each leg.

Alt fuse 2004 4runner

The fuse is bolted in to the power buss-bar in the fuse box. You have to remove the fuse box center section from the outer section (pull it up) to access the 8 or 10 millimeter bolts that holds it to the buss-bar. No other way to do it.
