FUSE PANEL INSIDE CAR 2010 corolla

[thunder24685]

had a problem with back-up lamp fuse yesterday so i got the book out to find what fuse it was and the numbers in the book dont match the nubers on the panel for example the back up light fuse is #20 in the book ecu2 but it is #7 on panel. anybody else noticed this..talked to toyota today they have no clue what happened... was a little difficult to figure it out...thank goodness for test lights

My manual page 355 (09 Corolla) lists the backup lites as fuse#20. BUT... I'm not sure how accurate I could be standing on my head underneath that dash counting fuses. Are they numbered or do you have to count them? I have a good size cable harness hanging in front of my fuse panel, I REALLY don't want to start horsing on it! I seem to remember that the panel hangs 'length-wise' - the long-ways part pointing front and back. The manual shows it long part pointing left and right. Easy to confuse I expect. #20 and #7 aren't that far apart. Are they physically different fuses?

yes they are different fuses....fuse 7 on my panel is a 10amp ecu fuse and in the book its a 20amp power window fuse... the cover on the inside fuse panel matches the fuse panel but the book does not..if you look at the cover and the book do they match or are they different. just trying to get some info so i can let toyota know

Hi There. Had the same problem with fuse box under/behind the instrument panel vs the owner's manual. The descriptions on the removable cover and the descriptions in the 2010 Corolla Owner's Manual, pages 357-358 do match except that you need to disregard the numbering systems. Basically, the cover starts numbering on the bottom row and the manual starts the numbering on the top row. So, the top row is...manual #3 = cover #16, manual #4 = cover #17 and so on, and the bottom row, manual #15 = cover #1, and so on. I plan on hand-writing numbers on manual pages to match the cover numbers. BTW, the cig light 15A fuse was the 1st one to go out on my Corolla, which I bought 9/09. Hope this helps.

So my throttle controller was all messed up. It was good a for a few days but then wouldnt do anything even when floored and it set off my CEL, and shut of my traction control and turned off the vsc which wouldnt turn back on.

I removed that, and removed the negative terminal to reset the cel. Everything was fine and that point, but when I turned my radio on there was no sound coming from the speakers, just the sub (hooked up with RCA Lines not a speaker inverter). I figured it could be a fuse so I popped the hood and checked all the fuses. When I turned the key back on, the radio wouldnt even turn on. I pulled the hu out to check all the wired and they were fine. So I decided Im either missing a fuse somewhere or the HU died on me.
