Subaru Solterra 2023-2026 Owner's Manual: Checking and replacing fuses

If any electrical system in your Subaru Solterra stops functioning, it may be caused by a blown fuse. In such cases, inspect the fuse and replace it if necessary to restore proper operation.

Checking and replacing fuses

1. Switch the power OFF in your Subaru Solterra completely before starting any inspection.

Ensure that the charging connector is disconnected, and avoid activating the Remote Air Conditioning System during this procedure to prevent unexpected electrical activity.

2. Open the fuse box cover.

■ After a fuse is replaced

• When reinstalling the fuse box cover in your Subaru Solterra, ensure that all retaining tabs are securely locked into place.
• If the electrical component still does not function after replacing the fuse, the issue may be related to a bulb or another component requiring replacement.
• If the new fuse blows again shortly after installation, have the Subaru Solterra inspected by an authorized SUBARU dealer.

■ If there is an overload in a circuit

The fuse system in the Subaru Solterra is designed to protect electrical circuits by interrupting current flow when an overload occurs, preventing damage to wiring and electronic components.

■ When replacing an electronic component, such as lights

SUBARU recommends using only genuine components specifically designed for the Subaru Solterra. Certain circuits are engineered with protective limits, and using non-genuine parts may lead to malfunction or incompatibility.

WARNING

■ To prevent system breakdowns and vehicle fire

Always follow these precautions when servicing the Subaru Solterra electrical system.

• Never install a fuse with a higher amperage rating than specified, and never substitute a fuse with any other object.
• Use only genuine SUBARU fuses or equivalent rated replacements.

  Do not use wire or makeshift materials as a temporary solution.

• Do not modify fuse boxes or alter fuse configurations in the Subaru Solterra.
