Electrical Components: Fuse Box and Relay
Integral to the Buick Verano’s operation are its electrical components, including the fuse box and relay system. The fuse box houses various fuses that protect electrical circuits from overloads, ensuring the smooth operation of critical systems such as lights, infotainment, and climate control. Relays act as switches that control the flow of electricity to different components, optimizing efficiency and performance.

WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
- A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
- On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
- If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
- Terminal and harness assignments for individual connectors will vary depending on vehicle equipment level, model, and market.
