Chevrolet SS (2013-2018) fuse box and relay Diagrams
The Chevrolet SS, produced from 2013 to 2018, is a powerful sports sedan known for its V8 engine, rear-wheel drive, and performance-oriented features. While the SS delivers exceptional driving dynamics, its electrical system, including the fuse box and relays, plays a vital role in ensuring all systems function properly.
The fuse box in the Chevrolet SS is integral to protecting the vehicle’s electrical circuits. Typically located in the engine compartment and inside the cabin, these fuse boxes safeguard various systems, including engine control, lighting, and infotainment. A blown fuse in any of these circuits can lead to system malfunctions, such as the radio or headlights not working. Checking the fuse box is a key diagnostic step when these issues arise.
Relays in the SS control high-current systems like the starter motor, fuel pump, and cooling fans. These electrically operated switches allow high-demand systems to be controlled by lower-power circuits, preventing potential overloads. A malfunctioning relay can result in significant issues, such as the engine not starting or overheating.
Proper maintenance of the fuse box and relays is crucial for ensuring the Chevrolet SS remains reliable and continues to deliver its high-performance capabilities.

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.
