The Chevrolet Equinox (2018-2022) is a compact SUV known for its modern technology and reliable performance. The electrical system in the Equinox relies on a network of fuses and relays to protect and manage various components.

The fuse box in the Chevrolet Equinox is located in two primary areas: under the hood in the engine compartment and inside the cabin, typically on the passenger side. The engine compartment fuse box is responsible for safeguarding high-power circuits, such as the engine control system, cooling fans, and headlights. The interior fuse box handles lower-power circuits like the infotainment system, power windows, and interior lighting. Each fuse is designed to prevent electrical overloads by disconnecting the circuit if an issue arises.

Relays in the Equinox act as switches for high-current devices such as the starter motor, fuel pump, and air conditioning system. These relays ensure that high-power systems can be controlled efficiently by low-current circuits. Regular inspection and maintenance of the fuses and relays are important to prevent potential electrical issues and to ensure the smooth operation of the vehicle’s critical systems.

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.
