  • Engine bay · Driver cabinDocumented

    Toyota Camry · 20072017

    XV40 & XV50 , 2.4L / 2.5L petrol

    Two main fuse panels (engine bay + driver cabin). Layouts moved slightly between XV40 and XV50. Diagrams show both.

    Common-blow fuses (4)

    • 15A

      EFI MAIN (engine bay)

      Engine ECU power supply

      If this blows, the car is dead and won't crank. Always check this fuse first on no-crank no-comms.

    • 30A

      F-HTR (engine bay)

      Rear window defogger relay

      Blows when the defogger grid shorts. Replace the fuse, then test the grid resistance before turning on again.

    • 15A

      CIG (driver cabin slot 24)

      Cigarette lighter / 12V outlet

      Goes when customers plug in cheap inverters. The single most-blown fuse on this car.

    • 15A

      PWR OUTLET (driver cabin slot 25)

      Rear 12V outlet

      Shares the chassis with the cigar fuse. Both go together on bad inverter installs.

    Common-blow fuses (3)

    • 10A

      HORN (engine bay)

    • 10A

      ECU-B (driver cabin)

    • 10A

      DOME (driver cabin)

      Interior lights

      A common one to find pulled when the customer wanted "battery saving". Diagram confirms which lamp it controls.

    Toyota Hilux · 20052015

    7th & 8th gen , 2.5/3.0 D-4D

    Common-blow fuses (3)

    • 80A

      GLOW (engine bay)

    • 15A

      INJ (engine bay)

      Diesel injector circuit

      No-start when this goes. Usually a wiring rub on the injector loom rather than the injectors themselves.

    • 30A

      POWER WINDOW (driver cabin)

      Power window master

      A bad window motor pulls excess current and blows this rather than tripping the motor breaker.

    Toyota Land Cruiser 200 · 20082020

    4.5L diesel / 4.6L petrol

    Three primary panels (engine bay + driver cabin + cargo) plus several auxiliary blocks for KDSS and AHC. Total fuse count is high.

    Common-blow fuses (2)

    • 15A

      DOME (driver cabin)

      Single fuse for a lot of lamps. A single shorted door switch kills the lot.

    • 10A

      KDSS (engine bay)

      KDSS hydraulic suspension solenoid

      Rare blow but expensive to misdiagnose. KDSS warning + harsh ride often = this fuse, not the accumulator.

    Honda Accord · 20082017

    8th / 9th gen , 2.4L i-VTEC

    Common-blow fuses (3)

    • 30A

      FAN MOTOR (engine bay)

    • 20A

      IG COIL (engine bay)

      Ignition coil pack

      Blowing this kills the engine instantly. Usually a shorted coil. Test each cylinder primary resistance.

    • 20A

      POWER WINDOW (driver cabin)

      Power window master switch

      Honda windows on this generation are heavy current draws. The fuse goes before the motor in most cases.

    Common-blow fuses (2)

    • 15A

      FUEL PUMP (IPDM)

      Fuel pump relay output

      IPDM has built-in fuses + relays. Diagram shows which can be replaced separately and which need full IPDM swap.

    • 10A

      CVT (cabin)

      CVT TCM control

      A blown CVT fuse means the car defaults to a fixed ratio. Driveable but "feels wrong".
