Need to change fuse, but fuse panel/box diagram on the cover & the manual don't match the real fuse panel/box

Aside from going to the dealer-because they're trying to rip me off-what do I do? The diagram is way off. I think my real fuse panel/box has 4 rows, but the diagram has 3. The diagram isn't even right. Next to the diagram in the manual, there are descriptions of the fuses. But, most of the descriptions aren't even on the diagram. For instance, the driver's blinker is mentioned in the description, but isn't on the diagram. That's the one that I need, too. Please help.

Well, you don't mention the year, make, model, and engine size of your vehicle so that's going to make it difficult to answer your question. But, having said that, you only change a fuse if it's blown. So, even if you can't find the correct diagram, then you can just pull each fuse and inspect it, or use a fuse tester to find the bad fuse. I would suggest that if you pull each fuse to check it, that you only do them one at a time. Don't pull them all out at once...it'll be hard to remember which one goes where when you go to put them back in.
Reply:Get a test light, attach the clamp to a ground, (a screw or bare metal) then with the point of test light touch each side of each fuse. (a good fuse, the test light glows on both sides) When you find a fuse that doesn't light up replace it with the same fuse size. The ignition switch must be on while testing.
