Chevrolet Malibu (2016-2022) fuse box and relay Diagrams

The Chevrolet Malibu (2016-2022) is a mid-size sedan known for its sleek design, comfort, and advanced technology features. A key part of the Malibu’s functionality is its electrical system, which is safeguarded and controlled by fuse boxes and relays.

The fuse boxes in the Chevrolet Malibu are typically located in two areas: one in the engine compartment and another inside the cabin, usually under the dashboard or near the driver’s side. The engine compartment fuse box manages high-current circuits like those for the engine, cooling fans, and ABS, while the interior fuse box protects circuits for interior features, such as the infotainment system, climate control, and power windows. Each fuse serves as a protective device that disconnects the circuit when there is an overload, preventing damage.

Relays in the Malibu function as switches that allow low-power control circuits to manage high-current devices like the fuel pump, starter motor, and HVAC system. These relays ensure the vehicle’s electrical components operate safely and efficiently. Regular checks of the fuses and relays are important to prevent electrical malfunctions, ensuring the Malibu’s systems remain operational and reliable.

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.
