Owners of any Smart Fortwo models or trim levels such as the coupe hatchback, cabriolet or "cabrio", electric, pure, passion, forfour, prime and proxy may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

This 2013 Smart Fortwo was equipped with standard mini blade electrical fuses.

Replacement fuses can be purchased at any auto parts store, Walmart or online at Amazon.

If the plastic fuse puller tool is missing from your electrical panel, you can use a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber insulated handles.

Your Fortwo might be equipped with a plastic fuse puller tool.

If the tool is missing you can instead use a pair of needle nose pliers.

Hold the old fuse up to a light bulb to check its condition.

If the thin metal bar or "band" in the translucent plastic center of the old fuse appears to be burnt or broken, the old fuse is most likely "blown" and should be replaced with a new fuse of the same amperage rating (e.g. 5A, 10A, 15A, 20A).

If the metal strip in the middle of the old fuse appears to be intact, the old fuse is most likely still good. Since new fuses are so inexpensive, I recommend changing it as part of your electrical issue troubleshooting process.

Check the electrical component you were having problems with such as the radio, wipers, power windows, power door locks, headlights, tail lights, etc.

If you are still having the same issue, you might have a shorted wire some where or the component itself needs to be replaced.
