Use this Toyota RAV4 2013–2018 fuse guide to find the cabin fuse box, identify numbered positions and check the rating for a socket, wiper, lamp or control circuit. Select a fuse in the diagram, or search by the label printed on the cover.
Check your version. XA40 cabin panel. Door-lock positions and seat-heater labels change around October 2015. Engine-bay Type 1 and Type 2 layouts must be identified separately.
Fuse box locations
The interior panel is beneath the left side of the dashboard. Engine-bay fuse boxes use alternative layouts, so identify the fitted type separately.
Cabin fuse box diagram
Tap a position, hover over it or use the keyboard to see its label, rating and main circuit. The diagram keeps the numbered arrangement; fuse sizes are simplified.
On smaller screens, swipe the diagram sideways to see every position. Unnumbered striped spaces are not assigned here; a dash means no rating is specified. Read the printed rating, not colour alone.
Select a fuse
Use the numbered diagram or the table below.
No matching circuit. Try the label printed on your fuse cover.

Where a position appears twice, the rows describe different versions. Main circuits are summarised; the vehicle’s own legend and manual take priority.

Common checks for the RAV4
Accessory sockets use positions 9 and 18, both 15 A. For a door-lock fault, check the production date: D/L NO.2 appears at position 6 before October 2015 and at position 22 from October 2015.
What do the fuse labels mean?
OBD identifies the diagnostic connector; P/OUTLET and CIG relate to accessory sockets. WIP/WIPER is a wiper circuit and WASH/WSH a washer circuit. STOP relates to brake lamps, while TAIL covers position or rear lamps. ECU labels feed control electronics and can supply several systems. LH/RH mean left/right; FR/RR mean front/rear. Read them in the context of the full label.
How should I check or replace a fuse?
- Park safely, switch the ignition and affected equipment off, and identify the correct box and cover label.
- Remove the fuse with a suitable puller. Check the element; continuity testing of the removed fuse can confirm a break that is difficult to see.
- Fit the same fuse type and the exact rating specified for your vehicle. Never bridge the terminals or increase the rating.
- Refit the cover and test the circuit. If the new fuse blows, stop replacing it and investigate the overload or short circuit.
Airbag circuits, high-current links and hybrid high-voltage components need the relevant service procedure. Do not probe or bypass them as part of a routine fuse check.
The fuse is good, but the equipment still does not work. What next?
A sound fuse does not confirm that power reaches the component. Check the required ignition setting and whether other equipment on the same supply works. A damaged socket, connector, earth connection, switch or relay may be responsible. Use the correct wiring diagram and a circuit test before replacing parts.
