Owners of other Nissan or Infiniti vehicles such as the Murano, Altima, Titan, Versa, Sentra, Maxima, Leaf, 370Z, GT-R, Juke, Pathfinder, Armada, Patrol, Skyline, Cube, X-Trail, Xterra, Qashqai, Rogue Sport, NV200, NV400, Teana, Q50, Q70, Q60, QX30, QX50, QX56, QX60, QX70 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.
This 2016 Nissan Rogue is equipped with both standard mini blade electrical fuses in the engine bay and low profile fuses in the interior passenger compartment.
The tools needed to access the electrical panels include a 10mm socket, a 1/4" drive ratchet a plastic pry bar tool and/or a flathead screwdriver.
Start by removing the single bolt at the front of the air intake by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.
Set the bolt aside in a safe place.
The front edge of the air intake assembly is held in place by two plastic pop rivets.
Gently pry up the center part of each fastener before pulling them out. You can either use a flathead screwdriver or a plastic automotive pop rivet removal tool.
Set the two pop rivets aside in a safe place.
Firmly pinch together the two tabs on the top of the air intake tube to release the retaining clips.
Pull the air intake out of the engine bay and set it aside.
Repeat the process for the smaller fuse box cover.
There is a fuse location diagram on the underside of the fuse box cover and also another one in your owner's manual.
Lift the fuse block out of the bottom half of the box and turn it over to access the fuses and relays.
If the tool is missing, you can also use a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber insulated handles.
Move to the driver side of the dashboard.
Locate the small notch near the bottom of the side panel.
There is a fuse location diagram on the back side of the plastic panel.
Place the tool over the fuse that you'd like to check or change.
Pull the old fuse straight out of the socket.
If the thin metal bar or "band" in the translucent plastic center of the old fuse appears to be broken or burnt, it is most likely "blown" and should be replaced with a new fuse.
This 2016 Nissan Rogue was equipped with standard mini blade electrical fuses in the engine bay and the relatively newer style "low profile" mini blade fuses in the interior passenger compartment panel.
Please check the fuses in your Rogue before purchasing new ones.
If the thin metal strip in the translucent plastic middle of the old fuse appears to be intact, it is probably still good.
Since new fuses are so inexpensive, I still recommend that you replace it as part of your electrical problem troubleshooting process.
Push a new fuse of the same amperage rating (e.g. 5A, 10A, 20A, etc) straight in to the socket.
Line up the access panel on to the side of the dashboard and gently push it back in to place.
Make sure you hear or feel the retaining clips click securely in to place.
Line up the air intake assembly and push it back on to the air filter box.
Re-insert the 10mm bolt and tighten it in the clockwise direction until it is snug.
Test the electrical component that wasn't working properly such as the radio, wipers, horn, A/C, power windows, headlights, tail lights, 12V power outlet, power door locks, etc.
If you are still having the same problem, there may be a shorted wire somewhere or the electrical component itself needs to be replaced.
