Hey George, Instead of replacing the whole fuse box you should take a look at any of the fuses. The factory used fuses that have silver plated pins. You will find that 100% of the fuses will have a heavy black coating on the silver plating. This is silver oxide and that is an electrically non-conductive material caused by silver being in contact with oxygen in the air and especially hot, damp air. Gently scrub the silver oxide off using a piece of Scotch Brite pad. Do this to every fuse in both fuse panels and you'll find that scores of INTERMITTENT electronic and electrical problems will disappear. This costs nothing but about 1 hour of time.
My car is going crazy!! I have the same car and I swear it's Christine! Mine started with radio, then cooling system! I've replaced so many things and now I'm wondering if this is the problem! When tested it's like there's no power going to multiple fuses in box under hood! Any one ever had issues like this???
@aprilbyrd9183 I've got a 2012 chevy captiva doing weird things. Like radio messing up, not starting, air conditioner stops, and now key fobs aren't working. I'll let you know if it's the problem
But it's a come and go type of thing it will work then next day nothing. Oh also acc not working properly and windshield wipers stopping in the middle of windshield all weird stuff which some of it just magically fixed itself
@@wickedest_sponge4251 yes, and that's exactly what the word INTERMITTENT means. Imagine that all of the electrical contacts of all of the fuses were taken out and covered with a very thin layer of glass then plugged back into the socket. At totality random times, any of the circuits would suddenly open then reconnect all by themselves. Vibration and the weather could affect this too. Any of these problems could come and go at random. The bottom line is that the factory should've never plated the fuse pins with silver. They should've used nickel.
@@mikejohnson-vq7ez yes. I do have to say that in the end, this wasn’t the only problem I was having. This helped fix some light issues I was having but the intermittent stalling was from the connection to my coil packs wiggling loose. I was able to fix that without replacing the connector/wiring harness and haven’t had any problems since.
@@brandonstorrs4533 well I’ve done allot to this one. And when it started ran so good. But now just cranks. And I tested the plug to the coil pack. And no power. Tested the fuse and no power to the fuse and a few others. But I have power going to other fuses. But with no power to the fuel injectors and coil pack fuses. Not including the ecu fuses. It’s not going to turn over. I appreciate the response. I’m going to take the fuse box apart and clean it today. Did you clean just the bottom of the fuse box? Or the chips the fuse box sits in also?
@@mikejohnson-vq7ez I took the entire fuse box apart and had the circuit board completely seperated because I wanted to see if there were any hairline cracks on the traces. Everything seemed fine. I just wiped it down and used contact cleaner on all the fuse recepticals. Good luck. I hope you find the source of the problem soon.
There's a guy that shows you how to fix that box here on RU-vid, I actually fixed mine back in 2019, resoldered the tabs and the damn thing still works 100%
Hey bro, thanks for sharing your knowledge about fixing cars problems, I might ask you some questions about the fuses, because my car cruze 2012 I've noticed that some fuses slot are empty which should not be.. Also the relays, is it one of the reason some features of my car not working?
Hi, I have a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Hatch Back, the Turn Signal & 4 Way Flasher Clicker stopped Clicking, the lights all work. What do you think the problem is... Pennsylvania
Thank you for the video When I start to close my window I noticed my headlights start to dim down and my voltage drops also!! The battery is still kinda new about 4 months old Is that the fuse box or my alternator
It's a known problem in these cars that the cables, both negative and positive are crap and also the alternator is way to small. A permanent fix for the dimming issue is add a few 4g grounds and also add a power line from battery to alternator
Hello, do you know how to disassemble this fuse box? I mean, to get access to the PCB inside. I would be so grateful if you could get me any advice. Thanks in advance!
I have a 2013 Cruze LTZ. I might have opened my sunroof 5 times. It just went dead (Thank God closed) about 2 years ago. I wonder if this could be the problem
Where can I purchase this fuse box? I've have had problems with everything basically electrical. The mechanics I've seen said its the fuse box. My radio, speedometer, gas gauge is not working. I really need this fuse box ASAP
i have 2009 holden cruze and the break lights not on with the trunk door can't open as well, is this will work if i change my fuse box. Really need some help here as I am typing
Question...I have ALL those problems minus the reverse light being on, but my headlights & taillights dim in and out too. It’s also loud when it idles, but the sounds are exactly in sync with the dimming of the lights, so I really think it’s all connected. Would a bad fuse box cause all of those things too??
Hello, just one question, because the gray relay that is marked 8385 in the original fuse box, is on the right side and in the spare box is on the left side, thanks for your response. Spanish to English translation of the google translator.
My GF has a 2015 Sonic with intermittent A/C failure and after repeated shop visits replacing all of the A/C hardware it still has a problem. Another shop has diagnosed a bad box. They are charging her $550 to replace it. Wish she had given me time to investigate. I look at this diagram and I wonder if those pins on the underside of the box are all actually long enough to make solid contact with the terminals in the hardess plug blocks. I can see any reason why any box should fail because they are literally just a wire holding and alignment assy.
Same question..I have issues with open short n causes shorts to my coil pack and blows fuel injector #1 & #3 fuses..I've seen dat wire going underneath and disappears
Hey George I have 2013 Chevy Cruze and noticed that the horn doesn’t work when pressed but sometimes it will come on if pressed. I checked fuses and are not blown. Any ideas?
I have kind of same problem with a dodge journey.sometimes the light and wipers become crazy. I disconnect the negative cable from battery for few minutes then Everything goes normal again. Happened couple of times.do you think could be the same?
Hi what was the issue I have the same problem, wipers come wen the car is running, no tails lights, reverse lights on. Don't know what's the problem. Let me know if you fixed the issue thanks..
I have a 2008 Saturn aura and on hot days the car won’t start. The Mechanics couldn’t Figure out why the fuse box overheats and the car won’t start. I literally have to open the hood of car and fan the fuse box until it cools off and the car starts right up. lol My question is should I replace fuse box ?
Yesterday the window on the driver side in my Cruze 2.0 CTDI SW stopped working - the symptom is that window can only go down but I can't lift it up. There is a module no. 00405791B3 plugged to the lift motor and a guy from non-authorised carservice told me that this module must be defective. I've just saw your movie and became confused. Should I change the fuse box or module? Both are expensive and as new available only in ASO. Please advice.
I have a Chevy Cruze and my 12v outlets stopped working as well as two of my 3 brake lights i changed the bulbs and they still don’t come on. could this be the problem ?
@@WaynesMundo ayo did you ever find out how to fix this I got a 2013 Chevy Cruze and my right taillight is out but all the other lights work except the front fog light but I think I need a new bulb for that plz lmk asap🙏
@@adrianspottedelk-bk4id in my case in the end I had 2 aftermarket LED headlight bulbs that had shorted out or something. They were still working but the minute I put in the standard halogen ones, all was ok again.
And also both fans runs automatically even if car engine is not running thats what was happening to my Cruze then I replaced this whole fuse box and problem was solved
Please help my husband changed water outlet an now car wont start headlights wont come on windows wont roll down wipers dont work but dash lights working an radio works Please please help 🙏
I get Flashes when break or clutch pedal needs to depressed to start vehicles with electronic key system information on user manual but I'll facing starting problem in my Cruze
Do you know the number for the fuse to power the instrument cluster message on dash change timing belt but it's not the original motor I would just like to clear the message on dash
Hello and thank you for your video. I have A Cruze LT from 2011 and I have some times difficulties With all signal lampe blinking and radio and controller panel on and of. When I turn the car of and turn it on again the problem disepears. Could this also be the fusebox. Furthermore I have ignetion misfire and it is Like lack of power and A bit shaky acceleration. I hope to hear from you. Best regard from Denmark
Hello Emma, You could check your battery terminals if there any corrosion appears which create a disturbance in power supply to your car electricals or accessories. For your engine misfire, shaky rides while you press down the accelerator you could quickly check your spark plug coils if they are firing spark, for that you can refer some youtube videos typing "how to diagnose misfire". For lack power there are multiple reasons which cause car run poor. Have your fuel filter replaced and spark plugs replaced. It should be working out with your car. Hope this helpful. Have a safe and happy driving.
My radio and lights turn off while driving car feels like it dies then starts right back. Definitely feels like electrical issue. Changed battery and alternator. Windows roll up and down by themselves. Could that be my issue
Have 2015 impala ltz. Front Parking lights do not illuminate when headlights are on. They work as turn signals. And illuminate while auto start is enabled but when you start car they go off. Help???
I have holden cruze 2010 diesel the key wont come out from ignition and also stuck in park cant shift,wiper stay on, reverse lights and no tail lights, the car does not start sometimes but I disconnect the negative cable wait for 15mins then connect it back on then it starts..all check lights come on, if someone has else has same problem please let me know thanks..
Check under the fuse box cover. There should be a diagram that says it. Should be labelled something like "HDLP". If it's not there, it'll be in the fuse box inside the car, under the dash on the passenger side. Like in this pic www.google.com/search?q=chevy+inside+fuse+box&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiM-7WNjP7jAhUO2VkKHTCUAR4Q_AUIEigC&biw=1091&bih=532&dpr=1.25#imgrc=IksFFRa8CIA4YM:
My 2011 Cruze LTZ middle dome light, left rear blinker, and both reverse lights suddenly quit working... Anyone else experience this???? Whats the problem?
The problem is the grounding and power wires. Add new 4g wires on top of the old ones. The ground wires coming from the battery to the front grill and also from positive side of the battery to the alternator
I have a 2009 Chev cruze automatic and the shifter gets stuck in park, the key does not want to come out of the ignition and the brake lights are dead accept the middle one. I have gone through all of the fuses and all seems good. All of this happened at the same time.....So I am a bit frustrated at the moment. To top it all off the boot latch is not latching anymore and the boot stays open now. Please if there is anyone that can assist I will be greatfull.
Anyone know what mine could be it wont start one head light comes on no horn no wipers no blinker an says lost communication to fuel pump control module 2016 cruze limited after my husband changed battery everything is hooked right an clean an tight new ground wire also
Lincoln H no electrical issue is covered by the 100k power transmission warranty. Only if it's engine relates. This issue is only covered under the bumper to bumper 40k warranty
The cruze is just the lemon cobalt that gm was so desporate to sell cars that they changed the name from cobalt to cruze so people think they are a different car
