Where Is the Tail Light Fuse Located?

Q: Where Is the Light Fuse Typically Located?

A: The tail light fuse can be found in a fuse box that’s usually located under the hood. In some vehicles, the fuse is inside the cabin, typically behind a plastic panel near the dashboard.

Sometimes it’s called the “parking lamp” fuse and it may be located in the underhood fuse panel, which requires the removal of a cover. On the inside of the cover, the fuse position will be indicated.

The location of the tail light fuse can vary depending on the vehicle. You can check your owner’s manual to know the exact location of the fuse box in your ride.

The tail light fuse is a metal band inside a plastic container that breaks when there’s too much current flowing through it. It’s engineered for that purpose so that other parts of the electrical system won’t be damaged because of the high current flow.
