Crossover Nissan Juke (internal designation J10/J11) is known for its striking design and compact dimensions, but even in such a car the electrical system requires attention. Fuses are “insurance” against short circuits and overloads, and their failure can paralyze the operation of everything: from headlights to the on-board computer. If your cigarette lighter, power windows stop working, or your engine refuses to start, the first thing you should check is fuse blocks.

In this article you will find current fuse layouts for Nissan Juke 2010–2023 model years, including models with petrol (HR16DE, MR16DDT) and diesel (K9K) engines. We will figure out how to correctly diagnose a malfunction, where to look for blocks (in the cabin and under the hood), and also give advice on choosing a replacement. We will pay special attention to “weak points” Juke - fuses that blow more often than others.

Where are the fuse boxes located in Nissan Juke

B Nissan Juke There are two main fuse blocks:

  • 🔧 Salon block — located to the left of the steering column, behind the plastic cover. To gain access, pull the cover towards you (it is secured with latches).
  • 🚗 Engine compartment block — located next to the battery (on right-hand drive models - on the right, on left-hand drive models - on the left). The block cover is secured with two latches.

On diesel versions (K9K) may additionally be present third block - he is responsible for the injection system Common Rail and is located next to the high pressure fuel pump. In gasoline Juke there is no such block.

Important: on restyled models (Juke 2014+) the location of the fuses in the passenger compartment may vary slightly. For example, the cigarette lighter fuse on a Dorestayl is located under the number #15, and on the restyling - under #20.

📊 What Nissan Juke do you have?
  • Dorestyle (2010–2013)
  • Restyle (2014–2019)
  • Second generation (2020+)

Interior block fuse diagram

The cabin unit contains fuses responsible for lighting, multimedia, climate control and comfort systems. Below is a table with current denominations for most versions Nissan Juke (including Nismo And Nismo RS).

Fuse no. Denomination (A) Purpose Notes
#5 10A Audio system, navigation Often burns out when connecting non-standard devices through USB.
#10 15A Cigarette lighter, 12V socket “Weak point” - check when the charger is not working.
#15 7.5A Body control unit (BCM) Responsible for the operation of power windows and central locking.
#20 10A Parking sensors, rear view camera On Restyle - fuse #25.
#30 20A Heated seats It burns out when there is a short in the wires under the seats.

⚠️ Attention: On models with NissanConnect (multimedia system) audio system fuse (#5) may be on 15A instead of 10A. Before replacing, check the inscription on the fuse housing!

Underhood fuse box: what's where?

The engine compartment unit is responsible for power electrics: starter, generator, injection system, cooling fans, etc. Higher rating fuses are used here - from 20A to 120A (fuse links).

Features of the engine compartment:

  • 🔥 Fuse #40 (100A) — main fuse for the generator circuit. If it burns out, the car will not start, and the indicator will light up on the dashboard ALT.
  • ⚡ Fuse #30 (30A) - responsible for ECU (electronic engine control unit). If it burns out, the engine will “trouble” or will not start.
  • ❄️ Fuse #25 (20A) — radiator fan circuit. If it malfunctions, the engine will overheat.

On diesel Juke (K9K) in the engine compartment the following were added:

  • 🛢️ Fuse #50 (20A) — high pressure fuel pump (HPFP).
  • 🔥 Fuse #55 (15A) — glow plugs.

⚠️ Attention: Fuse links (80A–120A) in the engine compartment cannot be replaced with “bugs” or fuses of a lower rating! This may lead to fire in the engine compartment.

How to check a fuse without a multimeter?

If you don’t have a tester at hand, you can visually inspect the fuse using light: a whole thread inside the body means that it is working. You can also use the “replacement method” - install a known working fuse of the same rating from another slot (for example, from a radio).

How to check and replace a fuse: step-by-step instructions

To diagnose and replace fuses you will need:

  • 🔧 Tweezers (usually included with the fuse box).
  • 🔦 Flashlight (for inspecting the engine compartment).
  • 📊 Multimeter (optional, for accurate checking).
  • 🔄 A set of spare fuses (ratings: 5A, 7.5A, 10A, 15A, 20A, 30A).

Step 1: Turn off the power.

Remove the negative terminal from the battery to avoid short circuits during work. On Juke with the system Start/Stop wait an additional 5 minutes - this will discharge the capacitors in the electrical system.

Step 2: Find the faulty fuse.

Use the diagrams from previous sections or the user manual. There is usually a sticker on the block cover with the purpose of the fuses (but it can wear off over time).

Step 3: Check the fuse.

Use a multimeter in “continuity” mode to check the continuity of the circuit. If the resistance tends to infinity, the fuse has blown. Alternative method: visual inspection using light.

Step 4: Replace the fuse.

Install a new fuse same denomination. Never use bugs (jumper wires) or oversized fuses - this may damage the wiring or control unit.

💡

If the fuse burns again after replacement, this indicates a short circuit in the circuit. In this case, you need to check the wiring for damage or contact an auto electrician.

Frequent problems with fuses on Nissan Juke

Owners Nissan Juke The following fuses often blow:

  • 🔌 #10 (15A) - cigarette lighter. It burns out when connecting powerful devices (for example, car vacuum cleaners or compressors).
  • 🎵 #5 (10A/15A) — audio system. It often fails when installing non-standard radios or subwoofers.
  • 🚪 #15 (7.5A) — body control unit (BCM). It may burn out if there is a short circuit in the power window circuit.
  • 🔥 #40 (100A) — generator. It burns out due to voltage surges or a malfunction of the diode bridge.

On diesel Juke (K9K) additional “weak points”:

  • 🛢️ #50 (20A) — fuel pump (HPFP). It burns out when water gets into the fuel or the injectors malfunction.
  • ❄️ #55 (15A) — glow plugs. Often fails in winter with frequent short trips.

⚠️ Attention: If on your Juke fuse blows regularly #30 (20A) (heated seats), check the wires under the front seats. They often rub against the metal frame.

💡

On Nissan Juke with the system Start/Stop fuse #40 (100A) may burn out when the battery is discharged. Before replacing, check the battery voltage (must be at least 12.4V).

What fuses should I buy for replacement?

For Nissan Juke standard blade fuses are suitable (blade fuse) of the following types:

  • 🔹 Mini (APM/ATM) — for the cabin unit (values 5A–30A).
  • 🔹 Standard (APR/ATO) — for the engine compartment (nominals 20A–80A).
  • 🔹 Maxi (APX) — fusible inserts (80A–120A).

Recommended brands:

  • 🏆 Bussmann — high quality, used on the conveyor Nissan.
  • 🥈 Littlefuse — reliable, but a little more expensive than analogues.
  • 🥉 Hella - a budget option, suitable for emergency replacement.

⚠️ Attention: Do not buy fuses from unknown brands (especially from AliExpress or markets)! They may have a low thread cross-section, which will lead to false positives.

For fuse links (80A–120A) it is better to use original parts Nissan with articles:

  • 28510-JK00A - insert 100A (generator).
  • 28510-4M00A - insert 80A (main fuse).

What to do if the fuse blows again

If after replacement the fuse burns out again, this means that there is short circuit or overload. Proceed according to the following algorithm:

  1. Disconnect all consumers connected to this circuit (for example, if the cigarette lighter fuse is blown, disconnect the chargers).
  2. Check the wiring for damage (frayed wires, exposed contacts). Pay special attention to the places where the wires pass through the metal holes in the body.
  3. If the circuit includes a relay, check its operation (test the winding with a multimeter).
  4. If you suspect a faulty control unit (for example, ECU or BCM) contact a diagnostician to check errors (OBD-II).

On Nissan Juke A common cause of repeated blown fuses is contact oxidation in blocks. To avoid this, clean the fuse and relay contacts once a year with a special spray (for example, CRC Contact Cleaner).

How to find a short circuit in a circuit?

1. Disconnect all consumers from the circuit.

2. Remove the fuse and connect a multimeter instead in ammeter mode (set the limit 10A).

3. If there is current (more 0.1A) - there is a short circuit in the circuit.

4. Disconnect sections of the circuit one by one to isolate the problem.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about fuses Nissan Juke

🔍 Where can I find the fuse diagram for my version Nissan Juke?

The fuse diagram is usually indicated on the back of the block cover. If the sticker has worn off, download official guide for your year of manufacture (section Fuse and Relay). For Juke The 2010–2013 and 2014–2019 schemes are different!

⚡ Is it possible to replace the fuse with a higher rating?

No! Installing an oversized fuse may result in wiring fire or failure of the control unit. If a fuse keeps blowing, look for the cause (short circuit or overload) rather than increasing its rating.

🚗 Why did it burn out again after replacing the cigarette lighter fuse?

Most likely the problem is short circuit in the cigarette lighter socket or in a connected device. Check:

  • Integrity of charger wires.
  • No foreign objects in the slot (coins, paper clips).
  • Condition of the cigarette lighter contacts (there should be no oxidation).
🔧 Which fuse is responsible for the starter on Nissan Juke?

Responsible for the starter fuse link #40 (100A) in the engine compartment and starter relay (usually #7 in the same block). If the starter does not turn over, also check:

  • Battery charge (must be at least 12V).
  • State of contacts on the solenoid relay.
🛠️ Is it possible to repair a blown fuse?

No, a blown fuse must only be replaced. Attempts to “restore” it (for example, solder a new thread or use wire) lead to:

  • Failure of circuit overload protection.
  • Risk of fire in wiring.
  • Damage to the control unit (ECU or BCM).

The cost of a new fuse is from 20 rubles, so repairs are impractical.
