Owners of other General Motors vehicles such as the Buick Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, Cascada, Encore, Enclave, Envision, GMC Canyon, Sierra 1500, Terrain, Yukon, Denali, Savana, Spark, Sonic, Cruze, Malibu, Impala, Volt, Camaro, Corvette, SS, Trax, Equinox, Traverse, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado, Silverado and Express may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The Aveo is equipped with standard mini blade fuses. New fuses can be purchased at Walmart, Advance Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Napa or online at Amazon.

A plastic fuse puller tool is included on the engine bay electrical block.

If the tool is missing, you may also use a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber insulated handles.

The engine bay fuse box is located on the right side of the engine bay just behind the 12V automotive battery.

Press in the release tab on the right (driver) side of the fuse box before lifting off the cover.

Turn over the fuse box cover to view the fuse location diagram. There is also another diagram in your owner's manual.

The interior passenger compartment fuse block is located behind a plastic access cover on the left (driver) side of the dashboard.

Insert your finger in to the notch and gently pull out the access cover.

Turn over the cover to view the fuse location diagram. There is also another diagram in your owner's manual.

Place the fuse puller tool or your needle nose pliers over the old fuse you'd like to check or change.

Gently pull the old fuse straight out of the socket.

If the thin metal strip inside the center of the old fuse appears to be intact, the old fuse is most likely still good. But since new fuses are so inexpensive, it should still be replaced as part of your troubleshooting process.

If thin metal bar inside the translucent plastic middle of the old fuse appears to be burnt or broken, the fuse is most likely "blown" and needs to be replaced with a new fuse.

Push a new mini blade fuse of the same amperage rating (e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25) straight in to the socket.

Re-insert the tabs on the interior fuse box cover back in to place and then snap in the rear edge.

Check the electrical component that you were having issues with such as the gauges, radio, window wipers, headlights, tail lights, interior lights, horn, etc.

If you are still having the same electrical problem, you may have a wire shorted somewhere or the component itself might be faulty.

If the gauges in your instrument cluster panel stopped working (speedometer, RPM / tachometer, fuel / gas level and engine coolant temperature) you will need to check the 10 amp "Cluster" and also the 10A "Cluster / Room Lamp" fuses which are both located in the interior passenger compartment fuse panel on the left (driver) side of the dashboard by the door.
