How to Replace the Fuses in a Chevy Silverado

Turn off the Silverado before beginning work on a fuse. Find the fuse box on the driver's side edge of the instrument panel.

Pull the cover off the fuse box and locate the fuse needing replacement. For example, the fuse associated with the power locks in a 2001 Silverado is called "Lock."

Use the fuse extractor that's inside the fuse box, or use your fingers to remove the fuse. Inspect the fuse to see if the silver colored band inside is melted or broken, indicating a blown fuse.

Replace it with a new fuse that has the same rating as the fuse you removed. The power locks referenced in Step 2 use a 10-amp fuse. Click it into place and close the fuse box cover.

Start the Chevy Silverado up again and verify the replacement fuse works.
