Circuit breakers
Fuses break the circuit in case of accidental short circuits.
The main fuses are located in the block on the driver's side. To access the fuse, open the block cover.
Additional fuses and breakers are mounted in the mounting block, which is located inside the engine compartment.
Blown fuse (2) can be identified by the molten current filament (1 - good fuse).
Replacement
1. Before replacing a fuse, make sure that this circuit is disconnected.
2. Remove the fuse with tweezers.
3. The unit has a spare fuse.
4. Before replacing, determine the cause of the burnout and eliminate it. The new fuse must match the one being replaced.
5. The rated current of the fuse is indicated by color marking (see table. Color coding).
6. The fuse for the radio is located behind the radio and is replaced after it has been removed.

Relay
Relays are used in the electrical system of cars, which are used both for closing and opening circuits with high current, and for operating in timer mode.
The relays are mounted next to the fuse box in the passenger compartment and in a separate block located in the engine compartment. The location of the remaining relays depends on the vehicle model.
The turn signal and hazard warning relay on most vehicles is mounted on a bracket under the lower dash on the driver's side.
An audible alarm relay is mounted above the block of direction indicators, reminiscent of the headlights on.
The ABS relay is located on the relay rack in the engine compartment.
If, upon failure of the circuit controlled by the relay, characteristic clicks are not heard, then the relay itself is faulty. Otherwise, you should look for a malfunction in the circuit itself, or the relay control circuit. In this case, it is recommended to replace the relay with a known-good one that exactly matches the one being replaced.
The relay is removed from the connector, first disconnect the corresponding circuit.
