Quick Answer
The 2025 Chevrolet Malibu features multiple fuse boxes located throughout the vehicle to protect its various electrical systems. You'll find fuse boxes in the following locations:
- Under the Hood: Main power distribution for powertrain, ABS, and major electrical components.
- Instrument Panel (Driver's Side Kick Panel): Protects interior accessories, infotainment, and body control modules.
- Trunk/Cargo Area: Powers rear-specific accessories and modules.
Always consult the fuse box lid or your owner's manual for the most accurate and up-to-date fuse diagram specific to your Malibu's trim level.

Before you pull a fuse on the 2025 Chevrolet Malibu
- Use the label printed on the panel cover or the owner's manual for your exact build. Layouts change with options, model year and build date, so a chart for another truck can be wrong.
- Replace a blown fuse only with the same amp rating. A larger fuse can let wiring overheat.
- A fuse that blows again right away means a short or failing component downstream. Find the cause before replacing it again.
- A good fuse doesn't prove the circuit works — relays, grounds and connectors fail too.
- Disconnect the battery before working near high-current fuses or cables.
