Где находятся блоки предохранителей в Nissan Almera G15

B Nissan Almera G15 предохранители и реле распределены по трём зонам:

• 🚗 Salon block - to the left of the steering column, under the instrument panel. Основной узел с большинством предохранителей.
• 🔧 Engine compartment block — next to the battery, in a plastic box. Powerful fuses (up to 100A) and relays are located here.
• 📦 Additional block — в багажнике, за обшивкой (есть не во всех комплектациях). Typically responsible for the audio system and taillights.

To get to the interior unit, just open the cover on the driver's side dashboard. Подкапотный блок требует снятия защитной крышки (фиксаторы по бокам). In restyled versions (2016+), the location of the blocks has not changed, but the numbers of some fuses may differ - check the diagram on the back of the cover.

Interior fuse box: diagram and decoding

Main unit in the cabin Almera G15 содержит предохранители на 5–30А, отвечающие за:

• 💡 Освещение (габариты, подсветка салона, стоп-сигналы).
• 🔊 Audio system and cigarette lighter.
• 🚪 Электростеклоподъёмники и центральный замок.
• 🌡️ Climate control and fans.

Below is a table with a breakdown for the standard configuration (before the 2016 restyling). For accuracy, check the inscriptions on the unit cover - they may differ depending on the sales market (Europe, Asia, Russia).

Number	Ampere	Purpose	Note
1	10A	Dimensions lamps (left side)	Also responsible for the license plate illumination
7	15A	Cigarette lighter	Often burns out when using powerful devices
12	20A	Power windows	Responsible for all 4 windows
18	10A	Audio system	Включает магнитолу и USB-порт
25	15A	Central lock	При неисправности проверьте также реле K1

Если предохранитель перегорел, его необходимо заменить на аналог с same ampere number. Using a high rated fuse may result in fire in the wiring! B Almera G15 The fuses for the cigarette lighter (No. 7) and power windows (No. 12) often fail - they should be checked first if there are corresponding symptoms.

Engine compartment: powerful fuses and relays

Block under the hood Nissan Almera G15 contains fuses for 30–100A and relays responsible for:

• ⚡ Starter and generator.
• 🔥 Radiator cooling fan.
• 🔋 Battery and charging system.
• 💡 Headlights (low/high beam).

This unit is located next to the battery in a plastic box. To open it, press the latches on the sides and lift the lid. Inside you will find:

• 🔋 Fuses (indicated by letters F with a number).
• 🔄 Relay (indicated by letters K with a number).

Attention: fuses F1 (100A) and F2 (80A) are responsible for the power supply circuits of the generator and starter. Replacing them requires special care - if installed incorrectly, the electronics may fail.

Designation	Ampere	Purpose	Symptoms of a problem
F1	100A	Generator main fuse	The battery does not charge, the lamp is on CHG
F5	30A	Cooling fan	Engine overheating, fan not working
F8	15A	Low beam (right headlight)	The right headlight does not light up
K3	—	Starter relay	The starter does not respond to turning the key

How to properly replace a fuse: step-by-step instructions

Replacing the fuse in Nissan Almera G15 takes no more than 5 minutes, but requires care. Follow the algorithm:

1. Turn off the ignition and make sure that all electrical consumers (headlights, radio) are turned off.
2. Find the faulty fuse according to the diagram (on the back of the block cover or in this article).
3. Remove the fuse special tweezers (available in the fuse box) or pliers. Do not use metal objects - this may damage the contacts!
4. Check the fuse for integrity: a burnt-out one will have a broken thread or a melted body.
5. Install a new fuse with same denomination. Using a fuse with a different amperage is fraught with danger damage to wiring.
6. Check the system operation, which was faulty. If the problem persists, look for a short circuit.

If the fuse blows again after replacement, this is a signal short circuit in the chain. In this case, wiring diagnostics are required - it is not recommended to do it yourself (risk of damage to the electronics). Contact an electrician with the equipment to circuit continuity tests.

What should I do if the fuse blows immediately after replacement?

This means there is a short circuit in the circuit. Possible reasons:

- Damaged wire insulation (often chafed in doorways or under the hood).

- A faulty relay that “sticks” and creates a constant load.

- Problems in the consumer (for example, a short circuit in the window lift motor or audio system).

For diagnostics, turn off the consumer that protects this fuse and check the circuit with a multimeter in continuity mode. If the resistance is close to zero, look for a short circuit.

Common problems and their solutions

Owners Nissan Almera G15 often encounter typical faults related to fuses. Here are the most common cases and how to resolve them:

• 🔌 Cigarette lighter doesn't work → Check the fuse No. 7 (15A) in the salon block. If it is intact, the problem may be in the cigarette lighter socket (oxidation of contacts).
• 🚪 Power windows don't work → Fuse No. 12 (20A) or relay K5. Also check the control buttons - they often get stuck.
• 💡 Headlights don't come on → For low/high beam, check the fuses F8/F9 (15A) under the hood. If the fuses are good, the problem may be in the lamps or light control unit.
• 🔊 The radio doesn't work → Fuse No. 18 (10A) in the salon. If after replacement the radio does not turn on, reset its settings (hold the button POWER 10 seconds).

If the problem persists after replacing the fuse, check:

• Condition relay (sometimes it “sticks” and does not allow current to pass through).
• Contacts in the fuse box - they can oxidize.
• Wiring for breaks or short circuits (especially in doorways).

Additional fuses in the trunk (if equipped)

In some trim levels Nissan Almera G15 (usually with an advanced audio system or climate control) there is an additional fuse box installed in the trunk. It is located behind the trim on the right side (passenger seat side). To access:

1. Open the trunk and remove the plastic panel (it is secured with clips).
2. Locate the black plastic fuse box (usually near the audio amplifier).
3. Remove the cover by pulling it towards you.

This block usually contains:

• 🔊 Audio amplifier fuse (15–20A).
• 💡 Rear fog lamp fuse (10A).
• 🌡️ Additional heater fuse (if installed).

The layout of this block may differ depending on the configuration. If you are not sure which fuse controls what, contact your instruction manual your version Almera G15 or to the dealer.

FAQ: Частые вопросы о предохранителях Nissan Almera G15

🔧 Which fuse is responsible for the low beam in Almera G15?

Two fuses under the hood are responsible for the low beam:

• F8 (15A) - right headlight.
• F9 (15A) - left headlight.

If the fuses are good but the headlights do not work, check the bulbs and relays K7.

⚡ Is it possible to replace the fuse with a larger ampere?

No! Installing a fuse with a larger rating may result in overheating of wiring and even fire. Always use a fuse with the same amperage as indicated on the block cover.

🚗 Where to buy fuses for Almera G15?

Fuses of standard ratings (5A, 10A, 15A, 20A) are sold:

• In car dealerships (for example, AutoDetail, Exist).
• In the markets (cost - from 10 to 50 rubles per piece).
• In online stores (AliExpress, Ozon, Wildberries).

For restyled versions (2016+) it is better to take original fuses Nissan (item depends on denomination).

🔋 Why does the cigarette lighter fuse constantly blow out?

Most often this happens due to:

• Use of powerful devices (for example, compressors or inverters).
• Short circuit in the cigarette lighter socket (oxidation of contacts).
• Malfunctions of the USB port (if it is connected to the same circuit).

Solution: Replace the cigarette lighter socket or use a fused power strip.

🔧 How to check a fuse without a tester?

If you don't have a multimeter at hand, check the fuse visually:

1. Remove the fuse from its socket.
2. Look at the light: if the thread inside is broken or the body is melted, the fuse has blown.
3. You can also check for a spark: insert the fuse into the socket and turn on the corresponding circuit. If the fuse gets hot or sparks, it is faulty.
