1. Turn the ignition switch off and remove the
auxiliary box.
Determine which fuse may be causing the problem. The
auxiliary box shows the name of the circuit for each fuse.

2. Make sure the inoperative component is turned off.
Pull the suspected fuse straight out with the pull±out
tool and check it. If it has blown, push a new fuse into
the clips.

Good
Blown
a. Look carefully at the fuse. If the thin wire is broken, the
fuse has blown. If you are not sure or if it is too dark to see,
try replacing the suspected fuse with one of the same value
that you know is good.
b. Only install a fuse with the amperage rating designated
on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an emergency you can pull
out the ªRAD NO.1º, ªRAD NO.2ºª or ªPWR OUTLETº fuse,
which may be dispensable for normal driving, and use it if its
amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amperage, use one lower
than, but as close as possible to, the amperage. If the
amperage is lower than the specified, the fuse might blow
out again but this does not indicate anything wrong. Be sure
to get the correct fuse as soon as possible and return the
substitute to its original clips.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of spare fuses and keep
them in your vehicle for emergencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out, there is a problem
with the electrical system. Have your Lexus dealer correct
it as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating, or
any other object, in place of a fuse. This may cause
extensive damage and possibly a fire.
