This automotive "how-to" guide was specifically written to assist owners of the 10th generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, & 2013) Toyota Corolla in replacing a burnt out fog light bulb in the front bumper.

Owners of other Toyota, Lexus or Scion vehicles such as the Yaris, Matrix, Prius, Camry, RAV4, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra, FJ Cruiser, Venza, Highlander, Avalon, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, IS 250, ES 350, GS 350, tC, xB, xD, iQ and FR-S may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

Assortment boxes of new low profile mini blade fuses in a variety of amperage ratings can be bought at various retailers such as Wal-Mart, Pep Boys, Advance Auto Parts or online at Amazon.

The white plastic fuse puller tool is located at the top middle of the engine bay fuse box. You can also use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove old fuses.

The engine bay fuse box is located at the right rear corner closest to the driver's seat.

Press the release tab at the front of the box and lift the top cover off. A fuse location diagram is included on the underside of the cover.

Pull out the white plastic fuse puller tool from the top middle of the engine bay fuse panel.

Pinch the ends of the fuse puller tool to open the jaws and place them over the fuse you want to check or replace.

Driver's Left Knee Dashboard
Pull the old fuse straight out of its socket and hold it up to a light source to see if it is "blown".

If the thin metal strip inside the fuse appears to be intact, it is most likely still good.

But since new fuses are so inexpensive, it should still be replaced as part of your electrical problem troubleshooting steps.

If the metal strip in the translucent plastic middle part of the fuse appears to be broken, the fuse is blown and must be replaced with one of the same amperage rating (e.g. "5", "10", "15").

The Corolla is equipped with the relatively newer style of low profile mini blade fuses. If necessary, you may also use the slightly taller standard mini blade fuses. They will just stick out a bit from the socket.
