High Voltage Devices and Wiring
Warning
Exposure to high voltage can cause shock, burns, and even death. The high-voltage components in the vehicle can only be serviced by technicians with special training. High-voltage components are identified by labels. Do not remove, open, take apart, or modify these components. High voltage cable or wiring has orange covering or labels. Do not probe, tamper with, cut, or modify high-voltage cables or wiring.
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to protect against an electrical system overload. When the current electrical load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect power devices in the vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse needs to be replaced, the same amperage fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature of the vehicle that is not needed to use and replace it as soon as possible.
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a fuse of identical size and rating.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
- Turn off the vehicle.
- Locate the fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse block.
- Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse from the top or side, as shown above.
- If the fuse must be replaced immediately, borrow a replacement fuse with the same amperage from the fuse block. Choose
a vehicle feature that is not needed to safely operate the vehicle. Repeat Steps 2-3. - Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your dealer to replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if the lamps go on and off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop until the motor cools and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the windshield before using the windshield wipers. If the overload is caused by an electrical problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems.
Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked with their ampere rating. Do not exceed the specified amperage rating when replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can result in a vehicle fire. You and others could be seriously injured or killed.
Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not meet GM’s original fuse specifications is dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result in a fire. You or others could be injured or killed, and the vehicle could be damaged. See Accessories and Modifications 3 225 and General Information 3 225.
To check or replace a blown fuse, see Electrical System Overload.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The engine compartment fuse block is on the driver side of the engine compartment. There is a fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse block. It can be used to easily remove fuses from the fuse block.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical component on the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.
The vehicle may not be equipped with all of the fuses, relays, and features shown.
Instrument Panel Fuse Block
The instrument panel fuse block is on the driver’s side of the instrument panel. To access the fuses:
- Pull out at the center of the right edge, and swing the cover out and to the left.
- Remove the cover.
To reinstall the cover, line up the tabs on the left edge, and press the cover into place.
The vehicle may not be equipped with all of the fuses, relays, and features shown.

How to Replace the Fuse of the 2025 Chevrolet Malibu
To replace the fuses in a 2025 Chevrolet Malibu, follow these steps:
Materials:
- The new fuse of the correct amperage.
- Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers.
Locate the Fuse Box:
Interior Fuse Box:
- This is typically found under the dashboard on the driver’s side, near the steering wheel. You might need to remove a cover panel to access it.
Engine Compartment Fuse Box:
- This is usually located near the front of the engine bay, often near the battery. It is covered by a plastic lid.
Identify the Faulty Fuse:

Remove the Fuse:
- Use a fuse puller tool (often included in the fuse box) or a pair of needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the faulty fuse. Pull it straight out to avoid damaging the fuse box or surrounding components.
Replace with a New Fuse:
- Ensure that the replacement fuse has the same amperage rating as the one you removed. The rating is usually marked on the fuse itself or indicated in the fuse box diagram.
- Insert the new fuse into the slot where the old one was removed. Push it in gently until it is securely in place.
Test the New Fuse:
- Turn on the vehicle and test the component that was not working to ensure the new fuse has resolved the issue.
Replace the Fuse Box Cover:
- Once you’ve confirmed that everything is working, replace the fuse box cover and make sure it’s securely in place.
Tips:
- Always replace fuses with one of the same amperage to prevent electrical issues.
