Location of Fuses in Toyota Alphard

In previous post, I mentioned that one of the ways to check for problem with power door is to look at the fuse. Where are all the fuses located in our giant?

There are several fuse boxes installed in a Toyota Alphard. The main fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment. The location of the fuse boxes in the engine compartment is slight different between the 2.4L and 3.0L model. On the 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine model, it is located on the right side of the engine compartment as shown in the photo below.
On the 3.0L 1MZ-FE model, it is located in the middle section on top of the engine.

There is another smaller fuse box below the larger one as shown in the photo below.
This is for the 2.4L model. The 3.0L model has the same smaller fuse box in front of the radiator.

There are two more fuse boxes located under the dashboard, one is on the driver side as shown in the photo below.

You will have to unhook the smaller coin box from the dashboard before you can have access to the fuse location which is located deep inside the dashboard.

The other is located behind the glovebox at the passenger side.


Again you will have to unhook the lower glovebook before you can access to the fuses located next to the aircon filter box.

Now that you have located each of the fuse boxes, you’ll need to identify each of the fuses within the fuse box to ascertain which one controls which component. The following tables show the fuel name, the ampere and the description of each fuse. The diagrams before each table list the location of the fuses within the fuse box.

Please note that the above write up cover what I know on the fuse locations for the new facelift model of 1st generation Toyota Alphard. Other model may have different fuse locations.

PS. Phew. This is the longest time I ever took to write a post because the formatting I have do for the table HTML code outside of the blogging platform.

PPS. A reader was asking where exactly is the fuse box on the passenger side. I am away at the moment so I can only attached a schematic diagram as a reference. I will take a better picture of it location when I am back.

    1. Did you find it? I can find the 10 fuses behind the cash tray and the relays behind the glove box but no fuses there.

  2. Hi Sham,

    I am not sure of the 2002 model fuse location behind the glove box. Mine is the NFL model.

    If you have the original owner manual (Japanese version), can you check the manual for it location?

    Cheers

  7. Hi rainbowsix,

    It sounds like a relay that the previous owner replaced rather than a fuse. Here is a picture of the relay with that part number.

  9. VSC stands for Vehicle Stability Control. It is a system that control various safety component like ABS, TRC, engine control etc, to prevent the vehicle from skidding when cornering on a slippery road surface or operating steering wheel abruptly.

    I don't have VSC on my giant so I can't tell you why it is on?

  10. The fuse box on the passenger side (on PFL) is underneath all the relay & connectors. U need a torchlight to see clearly. The space is really tight, and the fuses is smaller in size compared to the one in the engine bay.

  11. Fro PFL, the fuse is located underneath the relays, facing down. Behind all the cables. It's really tight down there. Better use torchlight to shine that area.
