The 2007 Honda Accord has two main fuse boxes: one under the hood in the engine bay and a second inside the cabin on the driver's side dash. Accessing them is straightforward, and the lids include diagrams showing each fuse’s purpose and rating.
Under-hood fuse box (engine bay)
This is the primary fuse box for engine-related and exterior/electrical systems. Here’s how to locate and use it:
- Location: In the engine bay on the driver’s side, near the strut tower/fender, beneath a black plastic cover labeled FUSES/RELAYS.
- Access: Lift or remove the cover; the inside of the cover or the cover itself has a diagram with fuse numbers and amperage ratings.
- Common fuses and relays: ECM/PCM, ignition system, ABS, radiator cooling fan, headlights, horn, fuel pump, and related circuits (check the cover diagram for specifics).
When replacing a fuse in this box, ensure the ignition is off and use a fuse with the same amperage rating listed on the cover. If a fuse repeatedly blows, consult a qualified technician to diagnose the underlying issue.
Interior fuse box (cabin)
The second fuse box is located inside the vehicle on the driver's side, within easy reach from the driver's seat. Use this panel for interior circuits.
- Location: Left side of the dashboard under the lower dash/kick panel area, accessible by removing a small cover or panel on the driver's side.
- Access: Remove the panel to reveal the fuse block; a diagram on the inside of the panel or on the cover identifies each fuse’s function.
- Common fuses and relays: Interior features such as cabin lights, power windows, power mirrors, radio, climate controls, and related electronics (consult the diagram for exact assignments).
For interior fuses, use the same amperage as specified on the fuse diagram. If you notice a fuse keeps blowing, stop driving and seek professional help to avoid electrical damage or fire risk.
Helpful tips if you’re unsure where to start
Always refer to the fuse diagrams on the respective covers for exact fuse roles and ratings, as configurations can vary by trim and production year within the 2003–2007 Accord range. If a fuse is missing or a panel is difficult to access, consult the owner's manual or a Honda service professional for guidance.
In summary, locate the engine-bay fuse box under the hood on the driver’s side and the interior fuse box on the driver’s side dash/kick panel. Both have diagrams that map fuses to their functions, and matching amperage is essential for safe replacements.
