The fuse box of a Nissan Pathfinder is located in the engine compartment, on the driver's side, near the fender or firewall. To access it, lift the hood using the release lever located inside the vehicle, usually under the dashboard.

Once opened, make sure to secure it with the support rod to work safely. Inside the engine compartment, look for a rectangular box with a plastic cover.

This is the fuse box. To open it, gently lift the cover, being careful not to force the securing clips. On the back of the cover, you will find a fuse map indicating the function of each fuse, making it easier to identify the one to check or replace.

Before proceeding with the replacement, make sure the vehicle is turned off to avoid possible short circuits. Use pliers to remove the damaged fuse and replace it with a new one of the same amperage.

After finishing, reposition the cover of the box and check that all vehicle functions have returned to normal.
