Toyota Camry v50 fuse box

Toyota Camry v50 fuse box: getting to the bottom of it

This article will focus on the topic of caring for the electrical part of the car. A minor accident or a cheap, low-quality lamp installed to replace a burnt-out one can lead to serious consequences and material costs.

Fuse box in the engine compartment

The first unit is located under the hood of the car, and is located on the right side of the engine compartment, next to the battery and air filter housing.

To gain direct access to the fuse system, release the locking lock and remove the cover. The inside of the cover provides a compartment for spare devices. There is also a place for special pliers that simplify working with fuses.

Each fuse-link has its own rated voltage, above which the element trips and burns out, preventing the failure of the equipment it protects. Thus, the lowest rating among all fuses on the Camry XV50(55) has a fusible component of measuring instruments. Its rated current is 5 amperes. The most important in the engine compartment unit are the protective devices that are connected to the vehicle's battery charging system, since the maximum current consumption of such devices is the highest. The amperage of such fuses for Camry cars is 140A for modifications with a heated rear seat system, and 120A for cars without such a function.

Fuse diagram for Toyota Camry XV50 2011 2017

Let's take a look at the diagram of the protective inserts located under the hood of the Camry. The table also shows the ratings of all fusible components and describes the electrical circuits protected by one or another fuse.

Some owners of new Camrys released in 2011-2017 note that during operation they encountered a fire in the Integrated Relay unit.

Below is a diagram of the Camry XV55 fuses, where this block is labeled Unit D.

As it turned out, this is due to the fact that the connectors located under the integrated relay, the contacts of which go to the fog lights, the heated windows and mirrors, cooling fans, as well as the high beam system, are not protected by any short-circuit protection devices.

The integrated relay is powered by an ALT fuse rated at 120A and a FL MAIN 3.0W, however, neither of these protects against fire in the unit.

The first will open the circuit after a fire occurs under the hood, while the second element is a thick copper wire, the melting of which will begin only when exposed to a current of 230A. For this reason, even with the slightest short circuit in the above unprotected circuits, it is not the fuses that burn, but the integrated relay unit. And this, you see, is a significant drawback, given the cost of such a new electronics component (from 6 thousand rubles).

The nuances of using the cigarette lighter and sockets

Depending on the body modification, the number of cigarette lighters in the car may differ. But the principle of their operation, the main problems and the location of the cigarette lighter fuse on Toyota Camry v40, 30 and 50 are similar for all car models. Often, due to the lack of spare fusible links, car owners use wires, coins, etc. This is strictly prohibited.

The fact is that the cause of fuse failure can be not only the connection of a powerful consumer, but also a short circuit. In this case, due to the installed wire, not only part of the electrical wiring may burn out, but also the entire car. Also, you should not install a cigarette lighter fuse on the Toyota Camry v30 and other bodies of a higher rating - this can also lead to electrical wiring failure. It is worth considering that installing jumpers and fuses can lead to failure of the main fuse link located under the hood. The entire instrument panel, interior lighting, engine control unit, etc. are also connected to it. If it burns out, driving the car is impossible.

The nuances of using the cigarette lighter and sockets

So that you don’t have to subsequently look for where the fuses are located in the Toyota Camry in the cigarette lighter, you must comply with a number of conditions:

do not connect too powerful current consumers to it (the power of which is more than 10–15 A);
use only the original coil as a heating element;
prevent foreign objects from getting into the cigarette lighter socket;
Do not install excessively large fuses or jumpers.

Often, fusible switches burn out as a result of connecting a car compressor to the cigarette lighter socket. It is recommended to use “crocodiles” to connect it, hooking them directly to the battery terminals. As practice shows, the compressor works much more efficiently as a result of direct connection to the battery. If the cigarette lighter does not work on a Toyota Camry, then the first thing you need to do is check the fuse - its location depends on the car body.

Following these simple rules will significantly extend the life of your car cigarette lighter and will also protect your car from fire.

How to change fuses on a Camry XV50(55)?

Special pliers for safe and convenient replacement of fuses.
buried on the inside of the block cover. Having found the location of the fusible element you are interested in on the diagrams, remove it from the block using special tweezers (tongs). Check the fuse for serviceability. To do this, hold it up to the light. For a burnt-out element, the strip will not be intact, but torn. If you install an insert with a lower nominal value, the protection will, of course, work, but such an element will need to be changed more often. If you use a device with a rating that exceeds the maximum permissible current value of the consumer, the safety element will not operate at the right time and the electrical equipment will fail. In some cases, this even leads to a car fire.

Please note that before changing the fuse, it is important to find out the cause of the problem. To do this, contact a specialized service station and use the services of an automobile electrician.

On-board electrical system 2008 - undergo regular maintenance

When increasing the load on the vehicle's electrical network using on-board electronics, do not forget to carry out preventive maintenance and inspection of the electrical network.
Some models will require a complete replacement. This is especially justified if you are increasing the functionality of the car. This approach will keep the devices operational. In most cases, it is fuses that provide effective protection in the electrical network from overloads. For this reason, if devices are not working, including the car radio and car cigarette lighter, this is where the problem should be looked for. Fuses can be replaced as a complete set from time to time. A good time to update would be when your Toyota Camry radio does not work. Thus, you will completely eliminate not only one of the problems, but also carry out a major overhaul of the on-board electrical network.

Fuse replacement process

Replacing fuses on Toyota Camry 40 cars with 2.4 and 3.5 liter engines is carried out in the same sequence. In order to change the jumper, you must use the instructions given below.

Turn off all electrical appliances and ignition.
Open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
Regardless of which of the mounting blocks the fuse has failed, it is necessary to disassemble the housing of the block located in the engine compartment. Its cover contains three spare jumpers and special plastic tweezers that allow you to conveniently remove the fuses.

Location of spare fuses and plastic tweezers

Next, you need to locate the jumper responsible for the de-energized circuit, for example, a fuel pump. For these purposes, you can refer to the Toyota Camry ASV 40 operating manual, or obtain the required information from the explanations given on the covers of the mounting blocks. For example, blue fuse No. 14 with a rated current of 15 A, located in the passenger compartment, is responsible for the size circuit. This information can be obtained from the cover below for a 2008 Camry 40.

Information on the cover

After identifying the fuse that needs to be replaced, you need to grab it by the body using special plastic tweezers, as shown in the figure below. It is not recommended to stagger, swing or twist the jumper during its removal. This will damage the socket and the installed new fuse will not fit securely into it. Unreliable contact will subsequently lead to sparks and unstable power supply to the circuit, for example, the transmission locking system.

Conclusion

Any automotive equipment, including the electrical equipment of the Toyota Camry 2008 and other modifications of the model, is protected by a system of fuse links, which, in the event of a short circuit, break the circuit and prevent fire of one element or the entire network. The fuses of the Camry V40 2007 and other model variations are located in the engine compartment and inside the car, therefore, knowing the layout of these elements, you can find a damaged insert in a matter of seconds and replace it with a working one. However, do not forget that before replacing the jumper, it is important to find out the reason why it failed. It is not recommended to diagnose the problem yourself. Trust this to professional electricians, and the Toyota Camry V40 will serve you and your family well.
