Learn about Daewoo Lanos 1997-1998 fuse box and relay’s locations, functions, and maintenance tips for optimal vehicle electrical system.
The Daewoo Lanos (1997-1998) is a compact car available in three main body styles: a 3-door hatchback, a 5-door hatchback, and a 4-door sedan. It is designed for drivers looking for an affordable, fuel-efficient, and practical vehicle. The exterior is simple but functional, and the interior is relatively spacious for its class, offering essential features like manual windows and air conditioning in the base models, with higher trims offering power accessories and a sound system.
The electrical system of the Daewoo Lanos, like most cars, is managed by the fuse box and relays, which control essential functions such as the lighting, ignition, and air conditioning. The fuse box is typically located under the dashboard or in the engine compartment, and it houses fuses that protect various circuits. Relays, which are also found near the fuse box, help manage high-power components like the fuel pump and starter motor. Understanding the fuse box and relay layout is essential for diagnosing and resolving electrical issues, ensuring the car’s reliability and consistent performance. Regular maintenance and inspection can prevent electrical faults in the Lanos.

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.
