The fuses on a 2002 Honda Accord are located in two main panels: an under-hood fuse/relay box in the engine compartment and an interior fuse box inside the cabin. Some configurations such as wagons or region-specific models may also add a fuse panel in the trunk. The exact fuse numbers and amperages are listed on the inside of each box’s cover and in the owner’s manual.
The layout protects the car’s essential systems, with the engine bay box handling major power to the engine and electronics, and the interior box safeguarding accessories like lights, radios, and power windows. If you’re troubleshooting, start with the diagram on the fuse box lids to identify which fuse corresponds to the circuit you’re examining.
Locations of the fuse panels
Below are the two main fuse panels you’ll encounter on most 2002 Accords. The following bullets describe where they are and what they generally cover.
- Engine compartment fuse/relay box (under-hood): Located in the engine bay on the driver’s side. It houses fuses and relays for major systems such as engine management, ignition, charging, cooling fans, and some lighting circuits. The cover includes a diagram showing each fuse’s purpose and rating.
- Interior fuse box (cabin): Located inside the vehicle on the left side of the dash, near the driver’s door. It contains fuses for interior accessories such as the radio, power windows and mirrors, HVAC controls, courtesy lights, and other electronics. The lid also has a diagram with fuse numbers and amperages.
Note: Some configurations (not common on the sedan) may feature a third fuse panel in the trunk or rear of the vehicle, especially on wagons or non-U.S. markets. Always confirm with the owner’s manual or the diagram on the fuse box cover.
What each fuse panel typically covers
General categories covered by each box help you quickly locate the circuit you’re troubleshooting.
- Engine compartment box: primary engine circuits, ignition, fuel system, cooling fans, ABS, alternator, headlights (some models share circuits with the interior box).
- Interior cabin box: accessories inside the car including radio, power windows, power locks, HVAC controls, interior lighting, glove box light, dash lights, and sometimes the trunk or rear defroster circuits.
Always refer to the exact diagram on the box cover for your trim and market, as circuits can vary slightly by model year and region.
How to identify and replace fuses
Guidance below helps you inspect and replace fuses safely and effectively.
- Turn off the ignition and all electrical accessories.
- Open the relevant fuse box (under-hood or interior) and locate the fuse for the circuit you’re examining using the diagram on the cover.
- Carefully remove the fuse with a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers and inspect the metal filament or the fuse body for signs of a break or discoloration.
- If the fuse is blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage rating (never exceed the rating).
- Reinsert the fuse fully and close the fuse box cover.
- Test the circuit. If the fuse blows again, disconnect any aftermarket devices or suspect wiring, and seek professional diagnosis to avoid electrical damage.
Always exercise caution: using a higher-amp fuse can cause wiring damage or fire. If you are unsure, consult a qualified mechanic.
Summary
The 2002 Honda Accord typically uses two main fuse panels: one in the engine compartment under the hood and one inside the cabin on the left side of the dash. A third panel may exist in wagons or certain markets. Use the diagrams on the lids and the owner’s manual to identify fuses, and replace them with the same amperage if blown. If fuse problems persist, have the electrical system inspected by a professional.
Where is the secondary fuse box located?
The secondary under-hood fuse box is next to the battery. To open it, push the tabs as shown. If something electrical in your vehicle stops working, check for a blown fuse first. Determine from the chart on pages and , or the diagram on the fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses control that device.
