The 2010 Honda Accord has two fuse boxes: one in the engine compartment and one inside the cabin on the driver's side dash.
The purpose of this guide is to help you locate both boxes, understand how to access them safely, and read the fuse diagrams printed on the covers or in the owner's manual.
Locations of the fuse boxes
The following sections identify the two fuse box locations with practical access notes.
Engine compartment fuse box — Located in the engine bay under a black plastic cover labeled “FUSE/RELAY BOX.” It is mounted on the side of the engine compartment near the firewall and is designed for easy access when the hood is open.
Interior fuse box — Located inside the cabin on the driver’s side, beneath the dash. Access it by removing the small panel on the lower dash near the left footwell; the fuse diagram is usually printed on the inside of the panel or on the underside of the cover.
Always consult your owner’s manual or the covers themselves for the exact fuse assignments, as they can vary by trim and market. If the cover is missing or the panel won’t come off, have a technician help you to avoid damaging the wiring.
How to check and replace fuses
To inspect or replace fuses, follow these steps for the engine compartment and interior boxes.
- Power down the vehicle and open the hood to access the engine compartment fuse box, which is the black lid labeled FUSE/RELAY BOX. Remove the lid to view the fuses.
- Check the fuse connected to the circuit you’re diagnosing. A blown fuse will have a broken metal filament or appear darkened. Remove and visually inspect or test with a continuity tester.
- Replace with a fuse of the same amperage rating as indicated on the fuse box diagram or the fuse itself. Insert the new fuse firmly until seated properly.
- For interior issues, locate the interior fuse box on the driver’s side under the dash, remove its cover, and inspect/replace the corresponding fuse. Reinstall the covers and test the affected system to confirm proper operation.
Do not substitute a fuse with a higher amperage rating to avoid wiring damage. If a new fuse blows again, there may be a short or other electrical fault that should be diagnosed by a professional.
Summary
In summary, the 2010 Honda Accord houses two fuse boxes: one under the hood in the engine compartment and one inside the cabin on the driver's side. Use the diagrams on each cover to identify the correct fuses, and follow safe procedures when inspecting or replacing them. When in doubt, consult the owner’s manual or a qualified technician for precise maps by trim and market.
