Owners Nissan Teana J32 (2008–2013 model years) sooner or later you have to face the need to check or replace fuses. The operation of all electrical equipment depends on their serviceability - from headlights and power windows to climate control systems and multimedia. However, finding the exact fuse box diagram for this model is not so easy: the information in the owner's manual is often vague, and there is conflicting information on forums.
In this article we have collected current fuse diagram Teana J32 with a detailed explanation of each element, indicated the location of the mounting blocks and gave practical advice on diagnostics. You will learn how to quickly find a blown fuse, what tools you will need for this, and why you cannot ignore even minor faults in the electrical circuit. We paid special attention fuses responsible for critical systems (e.g. ABS or airbags) - their replacement requires care.
Where is the fuse box located in Nissan Teana J32
B Nissan Teana J32 There are two main mounting blocks with fuses:
- 🔧 Main unit in the cabin — 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 latches).
- 🚗 Additional block under the hood — located next to the battery, in a plastic box with the inscription
FUSE & RELAY BOX. The lid is secured with two latches.
In some trim levels (for example, with an engine VQ25DE or VQ35DE) there may be a third block - in the trunk, next to the audio amplifier. He is responsible for multimedia and system Bose, if it is installed. You can check its presence using the electrical diagram of your modification.
Important: before working with fuses turn off the ignition and remove the negative terminal from the battery. This will prevent short circuits due to accidental contact of tools with live parts.

Diagram and decoding of the cabin unit fuses
Salon block Teana J32 contains fuses and relays responsible for most electrical consumers. Below is a table with a breakdown by numbers, relevant for most configurations (including Teana 2.5 And Teana 3.5).
| Fuse no. | Denomination (A) | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | Engine control system (ECU) | Errors may occur during burnout P0600 or P0605 |
| 5 | 15 | Audio system, navigation | Also responsible for the climate control display |
| 10 | 20 | Window lifters (all 4 doors) | When replacing, check the contacts in the doorways |
| 15 | 7.5 | Airbags (SRS) | It is prohibited to replace with a fuse of a different rating! |
| 20 | 10 | Cigarette lighter, 12V socket | Often burns out when using powerful devices (for example, compressors) |
The complete diagram with photographs of the block can be downloaded here (PDF, 1.2 MB). Please note: on models with xenon headlights fuse added #25 (10A) for the ignition unit, and in cars with electric seats — #18 (20A).
⚠️ Attention: fuse #15 (7.5A) for the system SRS You cannot check with a multimeter in dial mode! Use only visual inspection or a resistance tester to avoid airbag deployment.
☑️ Preparing to replace the fuse
Underhood fuse box: features and nuances
Block under the hood Nissan Teana J32 contains fuses and relays for highly loaded circuits: starter, generator, injection system and lighting. Its location is next to the battery, but access to it can be difficult due to the cooling system pipes.
Key fuses of this block:
- ⚡
#30 (100A)— generator main fuse. If it burns out, the car will drain the battery even while driving. - 💡
#35 (30A)— low/high beam (left headlight). Often suffers when installing LED lamps. - 🔥
#40 (50A)— electric power steering circuit (EPS). When it fails, the steering wheel becomes heavy.
A feature of the engine compartment block is the presence fuse links (they look like thick wires covered in insulation). For example, insert Fusable Link "A" (140A) protects the circuit from the battery to the starter. If it burns out, the engine will not start, and there will be no errors on the dashboard.
How to check a fuse link without a multimeter?
Gently pull the insulation from both ends of the insert. If the conductor inside is torn (a “play” will be felt), the insert is burnt out. It can only be replaced with an original one or an analogue with the same wire cross-section.
Important: If the problem persists after replacing the fuse or insert, it is necessary to check the circuit for short circuit. Frequent causes are damaged wire insulation (for example, in a harness under the hood) or a consumer failure (for example, a starter).
How to check the fuse in Teana J32: step-by-step instructions
To diagnose fuses you will need:
- 🔍 Tweezers (preferably plastic so as not to damage the contacts).
- 📱 Flashlight or LED lamp to illuminate the block.
- 🔌 Multimeter (optional, but will help with hidden faults).
Verification algorithm:
- Turn off the ignition and remove the battery terminal.
- Remove the fuse box cover (in the passenger compartment or under the hood).
- Visually inspect the fuses: a burnt one will have broken thread or blackened body.
- If visually everything is normal, check the fuse with a multimeter in test mode. If the fuse is good, the device will emit a sound signal.
Advice: in Teana J32 fuses often “stick” to the contacts due to oxidation. If the fuse cannot be removed with tweezers, don't use force - gently rock it left and right, after spraying the contacts with cleaner WD-40.
If you don't have a multimeter at hand, you can check the fuse for a spark: briefly turn on the circuit (for example, headlights) and see if there is sparking in the block. This method is risky - use it only as a last resort!
Common problems with fuses and their causes
Owners Nissan Teana J32 Often faced with repeated blowing of fuses after replacement. This indicates more serious problems. Let's consider typical cases:
| Symptom | Probable Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
The cigarette lighter fuse has blown (#20) |
Short circuit in the outlet or connected device | Check the socket for foreign objects, test the device in another car |
Fuse burns out #10 (window lifters) |
Worn guides or jammed mechanism | Lubricate the guides, check the integrity of the cables |
Knocks out the fuse #35 (lighting) |
Breakdown in the lamp or moisture in the headlight | Replace the lamp, dry the headlight with a hairdryer |
It is especially dangerous to ignore Frequent fuse blowing #15 (SRS). This may indicate a problem with the airbags or crash sensors. In such cases, it is recommended to contact a diagnostician to read errors through Nissan Consult or similar scanner.
⚠️ Attention: If after replacing the fuse #30 (100A) in the engine compartment it burned out again, don't start the engine - this may lead to a fire in the wiring. Check the generator and charging circuit immediately!
How to select and replace the fuse correctly
When replacing fuses in Teana J32 several rules should be followed:
- 🔄 Denomination new fuse must strictly comply burnt Installing a fuse with a higher current (for example, 20A instead of 10A) may cause a fire!
- 🏷️ Buy fuses from trusted brands: Littlefuse, Bussmann or original Nissan (article
28510-J3200for the cabin unit). - 🔧 For fuses under the hood (for example,
#30or#40) use special pliers with insulated handles.
Replacement process:
- Remove the burnt fuse with tweezers.
- Make sure the contacts in the socket are clean (clean them with an eraser or rubbing alcohol if necessary).
- Install the new fuse until it clicks.
- Turn on the ignition and check the operation of the circuit.
If the new fuse blows immediately, do not repeat replacement - this indicates a short circuit. In such cases, it is necessary to “ring” the circuit with a multimeter or contact service.
Never use "bugs" (homemade wire jumpers) instead of fuses! This can lead to wiring fires and failure of electronic components.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about Nissan Teana J32 fuses
Can fuses from other Nissan models be used?
Yes, but only if they match rating and case type. For example, fuses Nissan X-Trail T31 or Murano Z51 suitable for salon unit Teana J32, since the same blocks are used Nissan. However, the guards against Almera G15 or Juke May not fit due to different size.
Why did it blow again after replacing the cigarette lighter fuse?
This indicates short circuit in the chain. Most often the problem is:
- Damaged 12V socket (melted contacts or metal objects).
- A faulty device connected to the cigarette lighter (for example, a compressor or charger).
- Frayed insulation of the wire running from the fuse box to the socket.
Solution: Unplug all devices, check the outlet for foreign objects, and then test the circuit with a multimeter.
Which fuse controls the radio in Teana J32?
The fuse controls the audio system #5 (15A) in the salon block. If after replacing it the radio does not work, check:
- The state of the contacts on the back of the head unit.
- Presence of voltage on the yellow wire (
+12V constant) and red (+12V when ignition is turned on). - Amplifier performance (if the system is installed Bose).
What to do if the ABS fuse is blown?
ABS fuse (#22, 10A) protects the circuit of the brake system control unit. When it burns out, the indicator on the dashboard will light up. ABS, and the brakes will work without the anti-lock system. Reasons:
- Malfunction of the ABS sensor on one of the wheels.
- Damage to the wiring harness near the hub.
- Short circuit in the ABS unit (located under the hood, next to the vacuum booster).
Replacing the fuse yourself is acceptable, but if it burns out repeatedly, diagnostics with a scanner is required (for example, Launch X431).
