Quick Answer
The 2016 Nissan Titan features multiple fuse box locations to protect its various electrical systems. You'll find fuse boxes under the hood, behind the passenger kick panel, and in the cargo area (for certain configurations).
Under-hood Fuse Box (IPDM E/R)
This fuse box, often referred to as the Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room (IPDM E/R), is located in the engine compartment on the passenger side, near the battery. It houses fuses and relays for critical engine and front-end electrical components.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15A | Blue | Headlights (Low Beam, Right) |
| 2 | 15A | Blue | Headlights (Low Beam, Left) |
| 3 | 10A | Red | Headlights (High Beam, Right) |
| 4 | 10A | Red | Headlights (High Beam, Left) |
| 5 | 15A | Blue | ECM/PCM (Engine Control Module/Powertrain Control Module) |
| 6 | 15A | Blue | Fuel Pump |
| 7 | 20A | Yellow | Ignition Coils / VVEL |
| 8 | 10A | Red | Horn |
| 9 | 15A | Blue | ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) Pump Motor |
| 10 | 10A | Red | ABS Solenoid |
| 11 | 20A | Yellow | Blower Motor (Front) |
| 12 | 10A | Red | A/C Compressor Clutch |
| 13 | 40A | Green | Main Power (Ignition Switch) |
| 14 | 30A | Green | Starter Relay |
| 15 | 20A | Yellow | Trailer Brake (if equipped) |
| 16 | 15A | Blue | Trailer Towing (Lights, Left) |
| 17 | 15A | Blue | Trailer Towing (Lights, Right) |
| 18 | 15A | Blue | Fog Lights |
| 19 | 10A | Red | Backup Lights |
| 20 | 15A | Blue | Heated Seats (if equipped) |
Relay Locations (Under-hood): The IPDM E/R also integrates several relays. Common relays include the fuel pump relay, starter relay, A/C compressor relay, and various headlight relays. Refer to the diagram on the inside of the fuse box cover for exact relay locations and functions.
Passenger Kick Panel Fuse Box (Interior)
This fuse box is located behind the kick panel on the passenger side of the cabin. It protects various interior electrical components and accessories.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10A | Red | Radio/Infotainment System |
| 2 | 15A | Blue | Cigar Lighter / 12V Power Outlet (Front) |
| 3 | 10A | Red | Instrument Cluster |
| 4 | 10A | Red | Airbag System (SRS) |
| 5 | 10A | Red | Turn Signals / Hazard Lights |
| 6 | 15A | Blue | Power Windows (Front Passenger) |
| 7 | 15A | Blue | Power Windows (Front Driver) |
| 8 | 10A | Red | Interior Lights / Dome Light |
| 9 | 15A | Blue | Sunroof (if equipped) |
| 10 | 10A | Red | ABS Control Unit (Input) |
| 11 | 15A | Blue | Wiper Motor (Front) |
| 12 | 10A | Red | A/C Control Panel |
| 13 | 15A | Blue | Rear A/C Blower (if equipped) |
| 14 | 12V | Yellow | Data Link Connector (DLC) |
| 15 | 10A | Red | Cruise Control |
Cargo Area Fuse Box (Rear)
On some 2016 Nissan Titan configurations, particularly those with a tow package or specific rear accessories, a smaller fuse box may be located in the cargo area, often behind a trim panel on the driver's side. This typically powers rear lighting, trailer connections, and rear power outlets.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15A | Blue | Tail Lights / Parking Lights (Right) |
| 2 | 15A | Blue | Tail Lights / Parking Lights (Left) |
| 3 | 20A | Yellow | 12V Power Outlet (Cargo Area) |
| 4 | 20A | Yellow | Trailer Towing Power (Constant) |
| 5 | 10A | Red | Trailer Towing (Brake Lights) |
Note on Trim Variations: Fuse assignments can vary slightly between different trim levels and optional equipment for the 2016 Nissan Titan. Always consult the fuse diagram printed on the inside of your fuse box cover or your vehicle's owner's manual for the most accurate information for your specific truck.
How to Test a Fuse
Testing a fuse is a straightforward process that can help you diagnose electrical issues. You'll need a fuse puller (usually found in one of the fuse boxes) and a multimeter or a fuse tester.
- Locate the suspected fuse: Refer to the diagrams above and your vehicle's fuse box lid to find the fuse for the circuit experiencing a problem.
- Turn off the ignition and any affected components: This prevents electrical shock and further damage.
- Remove the fuse: Use the fuse puller to carefully extract the fuse from its slot.
- Visually inspect the fuse: Look at the thin wire inside the fuse. If it's broken or melted, the fuse is blown. Most modern fuses also have a small window to aid in visual inspection.
- Test with a multimeter (for confirmation): Set your multimeter to the continuity or ohms setting. Touch the probes to the metal contact points on top of the fuse. A good fuse will show continuity (a very low resistance reading or a beep, depending on your multimeter). A blown fuse will show no continuity (an open circuit or no beep).
- Replace the fuse: If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the exact same amperage rating and color. Using a fuse with a higher amperage can lead to serious electrical damage or fire.
Common Blown Fuses on This Vehicle
On the 2016 Nissan Titan, some fuses are more prone to blowing due to component demands or common issues. If you're experiencing an electrical problem, consider checking these first:
- Cigar Lighter / 12V Power Outlets: These fuses often blow due to short circuits from faulty charging accessories or overloading the outlet. If your phone charger or other accessories aren't working, check the 15A blue fuse in the passenger kick panel fuse box.
- Trailer Towing Fuses: If you frequently tow or use trailer accessories, the fuses related to trailer lights, brakes, or constant power (found in the under-hood or cargo area fuse box) can blow. Always ensure your trailer wiring is in good condition.
- Headlight Fuses: While less common, a short in a headlight bulb or wiring harness can cause a headlight fuse to blow. If one of your headlights is out, check the corresponding 10A or 15A fuses in the under-hood fuse box.
- Blower Motor Fuse: If your climate control fan suddenly stops working, the 20A yellow blower motor fuse (under-hood) is a likely culprit.
When a fuse blows, it's a symptom of an underlying issue. While replacing the fuse might temporarily solve the problem, if it blows again, there's an underlying electrical short or overload that needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a qualified technician.

Before you pull a fuse on the 2016 Nissan Titan
- 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.
