The fuses installed in the Toyota Camry 40 serve to protect the vehicle’s on-board network from short circuits and long-term overloads. Burnout of the jumper leads to disconnection of the circuit. The consequences of this may vary depending on which equipment is de-energized.
The failure of a fuse can make further driving of the car impossible, but in most cases the systems that provide the comfort of using the car, for example, heated seats or power to the cigarette lighter, are de-energized.
Frequently blown fuses can be a warning sign for a car owner. For example, damage to the insulation and breakdown on the body is possible. It is prohibited to thoughtlessly change jumpers without identifying the cause of their damage, as this may subsequently lead to a car fire.

Fuse box locations
In the Toyota Camry 40 there are two places where the fuses are located:
- inside the car;
- in the engine compartment.
In the cabin, the fuse box is located to the left of the steering rack. Not far from it is the hood release lever. The images below show the location of the interior unit in the 2007 Camry 40.

Now about the fuses in the car interior.
Replacing the steering cable
This breakdown is the most difficult. Restoring the loop is physically impossible. To buy a new one, you will have to pay from a thousand rubles for a non-original, and up to 4.5 thousand for a licensed version. Professionals advise saving money and installing a cheaper cable. The fact is that in this rather rare case, both samples of the cable are not an important part, they break extremely rarely and are practically no different from each other. And if there is no difference, why pay more?
First of all, do not forget to remove the terminals from the battery. Otherwise, smart electronics will consider that it is time for the airbag to deploy.
Unscrew the airbag and then the nut that secures the steering wheel to the shaft. After you remove the steering wheel, you will be able to see the cable, which needs to be replaced with a new one. Everything is going the other way around. First, the nut that holds the steering wheel to the shaft is screwed on, and then the airbag is screwed on. When assembling, please note that when replacing the cable, you need to put the wheels straight so that the cable does not break again in the future.
Purpose of fuses
Fuses are designed to protect electrical and electronic components from short circuits and overloads. If the insulation is damaged or elements fail, the current in the circuit increases.
This leads to heating of the parts. The protective insert has a jumper made of low-melting metal, which breaks if the current increases. To determine the fuse rating, plastic housings of different colors are used. The operating parameters are painted on the end part of the casing.
Fuse replacement process
Voltage drops occur in any electrical circuit, including automotive networks. The main function of a fuse is to disconnect the circuit when a short circuit occurs. This disconnection occurs due to the burnout of the conductor. A blown fuse must be replaced. How to do this, read on.
Fuse replacement pliers
Before starting the replacement process, it is necessary to find out the reason why the jumper failed. To do this, contact a qualified automotive electrician. You should not neglect this advice, since we are talking about the electrical network - and this is already a matter of safe operation of the vehicle.
After identifying the causes of the breakdown, proceed directly to replacing the fuse link. Initially, turn off all electrical devices and the ignition. Then open the engine compartment, remove the terminal with the “-” sign from the battery. Determine which Toyota Camry XV40 fuse box you need (to do this, use the diagrams and decodings). In the cover of the engine compartment block you will find spare fusible links and a special tool for working with them - tongs (use of needle-nose pliers is allowed).
Spare fuses and replacement pliers on the inside of the block cover
Next, you need to use pliers to remove the safety element corresponding to the diagram. When removing the fuse, try not to wobble, twist or unscrew it, as such actions will cause the socket to fail, where the fuse element will not be firmly fixed. This causes sparking and causes instability in current transmission.
After the electrical fuse is removed from the socket, check it: the conductor in the faulty element is broken. Install the new jumper, making sure you are using the correct rated insert.
Important nuances
Spare elements and tweezers are stored on the inside of the covers of the mounting boxes. It is recommended to carry a set of protective fuses with the ratings used in the electrical system of the Toyota Camry XV40. If the kit does not contain a part with the required parameters, then a temporary installation of a fuse designed for a lower current is allowed (for example, instead of 25 A - a 20 A element).
Manipulations related to the vehicle's electrical system are carried out with the ignition off.
The key must be in the driver's pocket, since the door locks may be blocked. If the installed fuse burns out when you try to turn on the circuit, you should take the car to a service center to diagnose the power systems and control units.
The nuances of using the cigarette lighter and sockets
Often a cigarette lighter is used to power gadgets, but to properly operate the device without damaging the car’s electrical network, a number of nuances must be taken into account.
If you wish to use outlets and power strips powered by the cigarette lighter, ensure that the maximum total load supported does not exceed the load capacity of the cigarette lighter circuit. The Camry XV40 cigarette lighter fuse is designed for a maximum current of 20A. This indicator must be taken into account when choosing a splitter.
The fuse is intact
If your cigarette lighter plug is constantly burning in your Toyota Camry 40 2006-2011, urgently contact a professional technician specializing in automotive electronics. This will allow you to detect the malfunction in time and eliminate it before the malfunction causes a fire.
