Where's the fusebox?

[tomegan]

The fuse has blown for my "Power Accessory" cigarette lighter thing near the bottom of the glove box. My manual shows the fuse to be in the fusebox under the steering wheel somewhere. I'll be darned if I see a fusebox in that location.

Anyone know where I can find that fuse? Thanks. 2007 Prius Touring model

Open the driver's door and see if there is a removeable panel on the side of the dash thus exposed. That's where it is in my 2001 Prius.

i also did the same thing. i checked out the fuse box in the engine compartment and absolutely have no clue which fuse it is. hopefully someone can chime in and tell us which one it is and how to pull that darn fuse out easily.

under the dash left side of the steering colum and it's covered with a plastic cover with a fuse map on the inside of it.

With the aid of a strong flashlight and a mirror, I was finally able to locate the fusebox. (Directly above the emergency brake / release pedal) Getting to it is another story, indeed. Unless you are a contortionist or about 5 years old, it's about impossible to pull out and replace a fuse from this location. What was Toyota thinking?

Lordy... Lordy. My back will never be the same!

Guess I'm just getting too old and too big, then. I can't recall ever having problems replacing a fuse before on any of my previous vehicles - until now. The fusebox under the hood - now that is what I call easy. But not that one under the dash. No worry... I don't plan on becomung a mechanic at this stage of my life.
