• Q: How to replace the underhood fuse box on 2005 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: The replacement process of an underhood Fuse Box or junction block begins by removing the battery and unfastening positive battery cable leads from the Fuse Box. Once the leads are relocated away from the Fuse Box proceed. The first step involves taking off the Fuse Box cover as well as every Fuse within. A flat-blade tool should be used to separate the 4 tabs connecting the Fuse Box to the battery tray while also removing the connector cover from the Fuse Box. A flat-bladed tool can remove locking pins from the body harness connector while disconnecting it and other wiring harness connectors from the junction block after loosening the 4 Fuse Box top bolts. To install the Fuse Box first reverse it and then connect harness electrical connectors followed by locking the power supply connector. Semisynthetic torque tools should be used to tighten bolts securing engine and forward lamp wiring harness connectors and instrument panel (I/P) connectors to 7 n.m (62 lb in). The Fuse Box cover must be installed first followed by placing the Fuse Box with its right side facing up until it snaps into position at the battery tray retainer tab. For the last step reinstall all fuses together then use the positive battery cable lead to attach it to the underhood Fuse Box stud while tightening the retaining nut to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Place the battery together with the Fuse Box cover for final installation.
