The Chevrolet Silverado Mk3 (3rd Generation), produced from 2014 to 2018, is a full-size pickup truck renowned for its durability, towing capacity, and advanced features. A key aspect of maintaining its reliability lies in the proper functioning of its electrical system, which is safeguarded by fuse boxes and relays.

The fuse box in the Silverado Mk3 is located in two primary areas: one in the engine compartment and another inside the cabin. The engine compartment fuse box handles critical circuits related to the engine, transmission, and high-power components, while the interior fuse box manages lower-power systems such as the infotainment, lighting, and power windows. Fuses protect each circuit by blowing out in case of a short circuit or overload, thereby preventing further electrical damage.

Relays in the Silverado act as switches for high-current devices, such as the starter motor, fuel pump, and cooling fans. These relays ensure that high-power components can be controlled by low-power circuits safely. Regular inspection and maintenance of fuses and relays are crucial to preventing electrical issues and ensuring the truck’s systems function reliably, from the engine to interior comfort features.

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.
