The Chevrolet Avalanche (GMT900) 2007-2013 features a unique combination of a full-size SUV and a pickup truck, with a powerful V8 engine, versatile midgate design, and comfortable seating for up to six passengers. Its towing capacity and flexible cargo space make it ideal for both work and recreation.
The fuse box, located under the hood and inside the cabin, plays a crucial role in protecting the electrical systems such as power windows, headlights, and the infotainment system from electrical surges. If a fuse blows, it disables the respective system to prevent further damage.
The relays manage essential high-power systems like the fuel pump, cooling fans, and starter. These relays act as switches, directing power where needed, allowing the vehicle’s major functions to operate smoothly. A malfunctioning relay can cause issues like engine starting problems or ineffective cooling.
Maintaining the Avalanche’s fuse box and relays ensures reliable performance of its various electrical components, keeping everything from engine functions to cabin features in top working condition.

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.
