Purpose

Toyota Sprinter fuses and relays

The Toyota Sprinter
was produced in various body styles, such as the Toyota Sprinter Trueno (three-door coupe), Toyota Sprinter Cielo five-door liftback), Toyota
Sprinter Carib (station wagon), Toyota Sprinter Marino (five-door hardtop) and others. Also known as Geo Prizm or Chevrolet Prizm. In this article we will show a description of fuses and relays Toyota Sprinter 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 with block diagrams and their locations. Let's highlight the cigarette lighter fuse.

The location of the blocks and their purpose may differ from those presented and depend on the year of manufacture, level of equipment and region of delivery of your car. Check the purpose with your diagrams on the block cover.

How to find out about a breakdown

The main purpose of Toyota Corolla fuses is to protect the circuit on which they are installed and for which they are responsible, including the cigarette lighter. Each fuse that is included in the block has a special designation on its panel indicating this circuit. Thus, the location of information on it helps during repairs.

The Toyota Corolla block consists of three types of miniature parts. These small-sized fuses have contacts made in the form of plates in their design. They are easily removed and can be replaced with new ones without the use of additional equipment. All work is done on Toyota Corolla manually.

The first thing you need to pay attention to when a unit or one of the elements of the electrical equipment of a Toyota Corolla stops functioning normally is the fuse. It is its breakdown that often causes a car malfunction.

To find out what condition the Toyota Corolla block is in, just look closely at the connecting wire on the part. This can be done directly through the plastic case, which is transparent. Sometimes it is worth paying attention to the integrity of the case itself.

1. There are three types of fuses:
2. Each of them looks different, and fuse failures are characterized differently.
3. Details of the first type can be seen in more detail in the following picture.
4. Here you can clearly see that the Toyota Corolla fuse on the left is intact, and the fuse on the right is blown.

The second type looks different; you can examine its integrity not from the side, but from above. The picture shows which fuse is intact and which is not.

Type C products burn out internally. The picture shows how this happens.

Part replacement

If you need to replace a fuse, be sure to use a new one with the same power as the old one.

Of course, physically and of different power can be interchanged, but you should only use a fuse of the corresponding technical specifications of the King.

Professionals do not recommend replacing a cigarette lighter part with one with less or more power; each individual electrical circuit in the car must have appropriate protection.

It is not always convenient to make repairs with your fingers; professionals often use special tweezers, which allow you to quickly and effortlessly remove the fuse from the socket.

To replace it you need to turn off all electricity in the Toyota Corolla.

Installing fuses with a higher rated current for the cigarette lighter, as well as using homemade jumpers, can cause a fire or major damage.

How to find out power

The power of the part is not difficult to find out. Each fuse has a label with its rating. If a new part in your car immediately burns out, find out the reason before replacing it again. This may have occurred as a result of a short circuit, which was caused by damage to the electrical wire, and, accordingly, to the electrical appliances of the car, including the cigarette lighter.

thermal fuse. found, read round

I had this happen, it seems very similar, at one point everything stopped working (and the signaling system also failed, and there wasn’t a single cylinder for the key:(( ). It turned out to be a fuse, I won’t say exactly which side, the driver’s or even the other, it’s not like an ordinary one, but healthy, almost like a relay, there’s a plate with a bolt (twisting it fixed everything) the thing turned out to be that while cleaning the entire block of driver’s buttons, I messed up and there was a short circuit, and this fuse is designed like this - the plate When heated, it bends and there is no contact. The fuse is somewhere in the manual. Before that, I looked at everything I could (( eliminated

Actually, I blame him too. Before your comment, I had time to read the manual and there I also saw that the relays are located somewhere under the steering wheel. And sometimes some kind of switch starts “ticking” there, about once every two seconds. I'll try to get there

There was a similar malfunction with the window lifters, a thermal relay of the same type... all the window lifters did not work...

I removed the harnesses on my caribas and soldered new wiring because... standard wires break and especially when the insulation is even slightly damaged, the copper rots inside the insulation and because of this it is not clear that there is a break here

I support it, just burn it. Unwind the electrical tape and look for a broken wire somewhere.

Try opening the door slightly and pressing the buttons while touching the scythe in the driver's door... I found out at one time that the problem was in it when the left window showed off the front

I touched the tourniquet, no reaction. Perhaps I did not accurately describe the problem... there is no response to the buttons not only in the driver's door but also in all the others.

Non-working wipers, cigarette lighter failure, dimmed headlights on a Toyota Corolla, all this is the result of blown fuses. In this case, there is no way to do without replacement, but not always independent intervention in such a complex mechanism as a car’s electrics can save money; sometimes everything happens quite the opposite.

The electrical circuit of the Toyota Corolla is protected by several fuses, fused jumpers and switches that operate in automatic mode. The central unit is located directly under the dashboard, on the driver's side of the Toyota Corolla, on the wall. It is covered by a decorative panel, which can be easily removed if necessary.

The location of the second block is the compartment where the Toyota Corolla engine components are located.

In models with air conditioning, the location is different; here the unit is installed next to the battery.
