Guide overview

Before you begin

If an electrical system, such as speakers, power outlets, or even headlights, ceases working, you may have a blown fuse. As fuses age, especially after constant use, they tend to wear out even if the system is working perfectly. This guide will show you how to locate, test, and replace blown fuses in a 2009-2011 Honda CR-V. This guide uses a digital multimeter to test fuses using the continuity function. Before using this guide, ensure that the vehicle is turned off and in park. If you are worried about a short circuit, you can disconnect the negative battery terminal (typically black or uncovered). If the replaced fuse does not fix the problem, you should seek professional help for a more in-depth diagnosis.

Step 1

Repair step

⌕

Set the Multimeter to the continuity setting.
Test the Multimeter by touching the probe tips. If the Multimeter is working properly and set correctly, you will hear a beep and see the number change.
If your multimeter doesn't have a continuity mode, refer to this guide.

Step 2

Repair step

⌕

Locate the cabin fuse box and fuse diagram underneath the steering wheel.
Remove the fuse diagram by using the knob and pulling downward.
Avoid forcing the diagram from its mount. Using too much force can cause the connectors to break.

Step 3

Repair step

⌕

Locate the engine fuse box and diagram above the battery.
Remove the cover by pressing the release tabs and lifting the lid.

Step 4

Repair step

⌕

Under the cover, locate the dedicated fuse puller, replacement fuses, and fuse diagram.
If diagnosing a specific system, use this diagram or the cabin diagram to locate the affected fuse(s).

Step 5

Repair step

⌕

The following steps apply to both the engine and cabin fuse boxes.
Using the Multimeter, test the fuse by placing the probes on the metal contacts of the fuse.
It doesn't matter which probe goes where.
If the Multimeter doesn't beep when both probes are touching the contacts, the fuse is likely blown and needs replacing.

Step 6

Repair step

⌕

To remove a blown fuse, use the fuse puller located in step 4 and pull carefully but firmly until the fuse is removed.

Step 7

Repair step

⌕

Make sure to use a fuse that is the same rating as the old fuse.
Replace the fuse by carefully pressing the replacement into place.
Test the new fuse using the Multimeter.
Refer to step 5.
Replace the lid or the cabin fuse diagram in their proper places and make sure everything is secure.
