Owners Nissan Juke 2013s often encounter electrical problems, from headlights not working to multimedia system failure. In 80% of cases, blown fuses are to blame, but finding the right element without a diagram can be difficult. This article will help you understand the location of fuse boxes, their purpose and the nuances of replacement.
We will look in detail two main fuse boxes (in the cabin and under the hood), we will provide a breakdown of each element indicating the current strength, and also explain how to correctly diagnose and replace fuses without the risk of damaging the car’s electronics. We will pay special attention typical replacement errors that lead to a short circuit or failure of the relay.
Where are the fuse boxes located in Nissan Juke 2013?
B Juke The first generation (including restyled versions of 2013) has two fuse blocks:
- 🚗 Salon block — located to the left of the steering column, behind the plastic cover. To gain access, just pull the cover towards you (it is secured with two latches).
- 🔧 Engine compartment block — located next to the battery, under the black plastic cover. To remove the cover, you need to unclip the four latches around the perimeter.
Important: in some trim levels Juke 2013, the engine compartment unit can be hidden under additional sound insulation. If you don't see the cover right away, check the space between the battery and the windshield.
The interior block contains fuses for lighting, multimedia and comfort systems, and the engine compartment is for power electronics, starter and generator. Do not confuse them: fuses from different blocks are not interchangeable!

Decoding the fuses of the cabin unit
Salon block Nissan Juke 2013 contains 40 fuses and 12 relays. Below is a table with a breakdown most requested items (see instruction manual for complete diagram).
| Fuse no. | Current (A) | Purpose | Symptoms of a problem |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | Audio system, navigation | The radio does not work, there is no sound, the screen does not turn on |
| 7 | 15 | Cigarette lighter | 12V socket does not work, devices do not charge |
| 12 | 10 | Climate control unit | The temperature is not regulated, the fan does not work |
| 20 | 15 | Window lifters | All or some glasses do not work |
| 25 | 7.5 | Dashboard lighting | The indicators on the panel are dim or do not work |
Please note: fuse No. 20 (15A) Responsible for all window lifters. If only one window regulator burns out, the problem is in the motor or wiring, not in the fuse.
⚠️ Attention: fuse No. 30 (10A) protects the airbag control unit. Never replace it with a bug — this can lead to false deployment of the airbags!
Engine compartment: diagram and features
Engine compartment block Nissan Juke 2013 contains 30 fuses and 8 relays. Here are the elements responsible for critical systems:
- ⚡ Starter and generator (fuses No. 5 and No. 10)
- 💡 Main relay and engine ECU (fuse No. 15)
- 🔋 Cooling fan (fuse No. 20 and relay No. 3)
- 🚦 Fog lights (fuse No. 25)
A feature of the engine compartment block is the presence fuse links (fusable links) next to the main fuses. They look like thick insulated wires and protect high current circuits. In the event of a short circuit, the insert burns out and must be replaced entirely - it cannot be repaired.
To check the fuse link, gently pull it: if the wire stretches or blackening is visible, the link has burned out. For replacement, use only original parts Nissan with catalog number 24040-4M000.
How to distinguish a fuse from a relay?
The fuse is a small plastic part with a metal thread inside, visible through a transparent body. Relay - a box with legs and the inscription "RELAY" on the top. In the Juke's interior unit, the relays are located on the right and the fuses are on the left.
How to check and replace a fuse: step-by-step instructions
To diagnose and replace fuses you will need:
- 🔧 Tweezers (usually included with the car in the glove compartment)
- 🔦 Flashlight (for inspecting the engine compartment)
- 📱 Multimeter or tester (optional, for accurate testing)
- 🔄 Set of spare fuses (5A, 10A, 15A, 20A)
Sequence of actions:
- Turn off the ignition and remove the key from the lock.
- Remove the cover of the desired unit (interior or engine compartment).
- Visually inspect the fuses: a blown one will have a broken thread or blackening.
- If the fault is not visible visually, check the fuse with a multimeter in test mode.
- Remove the faulty fuse with tweezers and install a new one same denomination.
☑️ Preparing to replace the fuse
⚠️ Attention: If a new fuse immediately blows after installation, there is short circuit. Do not install a fuse of a higher rating! This may cause the wiring to catch fire.
To check with a multimeter:
- Set the device to dialing mode (diode icon).
- Touch the probes to the fuse contacts.
- If you hear a beep, the fuse is good. No signal - replacement required.
If you don’t have a multimeter at hand, you can check the fuse for a spark: briefly touch its contacts to the battery terminals (only for fuses up to 15A!). A good fuse will not spark, but a blown fuse will spark.
Typical problems and their causes
Here are the most common symptoms associated with fuses in Nissan Juke 2013, and their possible reasons:
- 🔌 The cigarette lighter fuse blows (No. 7, 15A) - usually the culprit is the connection of powerful devices (compressors, inverters) or a short circuit in the outlet. Check contacts for oxidation.
- 💡 Headlights do not work (fuses No. 3 and No. 4, 10A) - the cause may be not only the fuse, but also the light relay or oxidized contacts in the unit.
- 🚪 Power windows do not work (fuse No. 20, 15A) — jammed motors or broken wiring in door hinges are often to blame.
- 🎵 The radio does not turn on (fuse No. 1, 10A) — also check the fuse in the radio itself (if it is not standard).
If the fuse blows again after replacement, don't increase its value! This is a temporary solution and may cause a fire. Instead:
- Check the circuit for a short circuit (most often the problem is in the wiring or consumer).
- Turn off all additional devices (for example, alarm or DVR).
- Contact an auto electrician for diagnosis.
If in Juke 2013 cooling fan fuse often blows (No. 20, 20A), first check the temperature sensor and relay. In 60% of cases the problem lies in them, and not in the fan itself.

Frequently asked questions about fuses Nissan Juke 2013
Can I use a higher rated fuse if I don't have the correct one on hand?
No! Installing a larger fuse rating (for example, 20A instead of 10A) may result in overheating of the wiring and a fire. As a last resort, temporarily use a fuse of the same rating from another circuit (such as the cigarette lighter), but replace it with the correct one as soon as possible.
Why is there no 25A fuse in the cabin unit, although according to the diagram there should be one?
In some trim levels Nissan Juke 2013 fuses may vary depending on the region of delivery. For example, in European versions the fog light fuse is rated 15A, and in Asian versions it is 20A. Always check the sticker on the unit cover!
How to check the relay in the fuse box?
To check the relay:
- Remove the relay from the block.
- Test pins 85 and 86 with a multimeter (there should be a resistance of 50–120 Ohms).
- Connect 12V to pins 85 and 86 - you should hear a click.
- Ring pins 30 and 87 - the resistance should be close to 0 Ohm.
If at least one of the tests fails, the relay is faulty.
What to do if the fuse is intact, but the device does not work?
In this case, the problem may be:
- Broken wiring or oxidation of contacts;
- Malfunction of the device itself (for example, window lift motor);
- Failure of the relay or control unit;
- Poor contact of the fuse in the socket (move it with tweezers).
Start by checking the voltage at the fuse socket contacts with the ignition on.
Where to find a fuse diagram for your configuration Juke?
The fuse diagram is usually indicated:
- On the inside of the block cover;
- In the operating manual (section "Electrical equipment");
- On the website Nissan TechInfo (registration required).
