Quick answer
The 2024 Nissan Altima features three primary fuse box locations: one under the hood, one in the cabin (driver's side kick panel), and one in the trunk.
Under-Hood Fuse Box
The under-hood fuse box, also known as the IPDM (Intelligent Power Distribution Module), is located on the driver's side of the engine bay, near the battery. It houses fuses and relays for critical engine components, lighting, and other high-current systems. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before servicing any fuses or relays in this box.

Relay Locations (Under-Hood):
The under-hood fuse box also contains several important relays. Refer to the diagram on the inside of the fuse box cover for their exact positions.
- Fuel Pump Relay: Controls power to the fuel pump.
- ECM/PCM Relay: Powers the Engine Control Module.
- Starter Relay: Engages the starter motor.
- Headlight Relays: Control the high and low beam headlights.
- Cooling Fan Relay: Activates the engine cooling fan.
- A/C Compressor Clutch Relay: Engages the A/C compressor.
Cabin Fuse Box (Driver's Side Kick Panel)
The cabin fuse box is located on the driver's side, behind a trim panel in the kick panel area. This box contains fuses for various interior electrical components, accessories, and safety systems.

| 17 | 10A | Red | Steering Wheel Controls |
| 18 | 5A | Tan | Keyless Entry / Smart Key System |
Trunk/Cargo Area Fuse Box
The trunk/cargo area fuse box is typically located on the left or right side of the trunk, behind a trim panel. This fuse box often contains fuses for rear accessories, power outlets, and trailer-related circuits if equipped.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15A | Blue | 12V Power Outlet (Trunk) |
| 2 | 10A | Red | Rear Defogger Relay |
| 3 | 20A | Yellow | Trailer Brake Control (If equipped) |
| 4 | 10A | Red | Rear License Plate Lights |
| 5 | 10A | Red | Backup Camera |
| 6 | 10A | Red | Rear USB Charging Port (If equipped) |
How to test a fuse
Testing a fuse is a straightforward process that can save you time and money. Here's how to do it:
- Locate the fuse: Consult your owner's manual or the fuse box lid diagram to find the suspected fuse.
- Turn off the ignition: Ensure the vehicle is off to prevent electrical shorts.
- Remove the fuse: Use a fuse puller (usually found in the fuse box) or small needle-nose pliers to carefully pull the fuse straight out.
- Visually inspect: Look at the metal wire inside the fuse. If it's broken or melted, the fuse is blown and needs replacement.
- Use a multimeter (for a more thorough test):
- Set your multimeter to the continuity or ohm setting.
- Touch the probes to the two metal prongs on the top of the fuse.
- If the multimeter beeps or shows a reading close to zero ohms, the fuse is good. If there's no reading or it shows
Before you pull a fuse on the 2024 Nissan Altima
- 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.
