Toyota RAV4 (3rd generation, 2012) fuses replacement is quite easy task. The current photo report confirms this while helping to easily replace the fuses on your own. Miniature low-profile fuses of the same rating as the blown ones will be required.
Like many other cars, RAV4 has two fuses blocks: the first is located under the hood near of the rechargeable battery, the second is located in the cabin under the panel, just to the right of the hood lift lever. First, remove the fuse box cover under the hood. Forceps for fuses replacement and layout can be found there. Sharp-nosed pliers with insulation will be suitable if there are no forceps.
It’s possible to remove the allegedly blown fuse while using them. Then it is worth examining the fuse to find out if the metal strip is damaged inside. Its damage means it burned out. However, it is still worth replacing fuse with a new one (they are inexpensive), since it already aroused suspicion even if it visually hasn’t been damaged.
All the fuses are replaced the same way in the cabin unit. Learn more about Toyota RAV4 fuses replacement way, the current photo manual will help.
