Fuse Box With Mini-Fuses

[Speed_Chaser]

Hey!

Some help needed... Do you know if there's a fuse box (with mini-fuses) inside the car, like there is inside the engine bay? I've found only some big fuses by removing plastic cover which has mirror control button on it...

Best regards, Alex

FOUND IT!! It was on driver's side. Just a small plastic grey/white hatch which had all the fuses drawn on it. When I opened it, the fuses were there. The hatch wasn't behind any panel, I could see it when I went lying on my back on the floor and looked straight up. Maybe someone with LHD car will find this useful.

No problem mate, luckily I figured that out pretty fast as I'm kinda used to it that things can be on the other side than they're in your cars there :)

I have a an Auris Hybrid RHD The book says it is a type B behind the glove box and shows a picture with just 4 fuse 30a fuse holders two of which have fuses in. There is no normal fuse box unless it is behind all the plugs which look fixed. I am trying to fit a Dash cam and want to fit a fuse piggy back off the Power socket. The book shows this on a type A ( same place as the Prius) but not a type B I have searched everywhere Can anybody help?

In LHD car it's facing down, so best way to see it is to lying on the seat head on on floor. It's the bottom side of the same box where you found the big fuses. It has a plastic cover which needs to be removed.

Thanks to everyone I found it. The hint was it is in the same box as the big ones but underneath. The glove box does not need to be removed but there is a black plastic cover under the dash that does. Put a mirror on the floor and it can be seen easy. Daft place to put it as in an emergency I would have been stuck. Once I get the mini fuse piggy-backs I will wire up the dash cam and take pics.

I found this elsewhere, seems a pretty dumb place to put, it if the following is true

Ques Can anyone please tell me where to locate the main fuse box on my Toyota Auris?

I need to locate the cigarette lighter fuse. Thanks.

Answer(s)

There are two fuse boxes, one is under the bonnet and the other is underneath the glove box. When you remove the glove box you will see a circuit board in front of you. The fuse box is underneath this circuit board and can be accessed by looking vertically up from the floor. Toyota Mechs must be contortionists. @ 72 I'm not so flexible as I was.

I was on holiday when this came in but I guess you have found it by now. The fuses are marked on the inside of the cover. I could not get a fuse piggy back of the same type if flush fitting fuses but standard mini fuses fit ok but the cover will need modification if you want to refit it. Daft place to put it and Murphy Law says the fuses could fall out as they are upside down but they do fit tight. If you need pics I have posted them on the dash cam thread.

Thanks Ian. TBH I gave up on the DIY approach, blimey, it wasn't half making my head go funny.

In the end I paid to have mine fitted, I though bu55er it, let someone else's head go funny.

The fuses are situated in such a ridiculous place, that I've since wondered if the whole fuse panel maybe hinges down.
