Just out of curiosity, does anyone know exactly where the fuse is located in the Traverse? I want to be sure before I check mine.

It’s usually found in the fuse box under the hood or inside the cabin. Make sure to consult your manual for the exact spot!
I can’t believe how common fuse issues are! I thought my Traverse was just misbehaving! At least it gives me a chuckle now.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a comprehensive tutorial on removing and replacing the alternator fuse in my Chevy Traverse. Any tips?
You definitely need a fuse puller, some gloves, and safety glasses. Remember to disconnect the battery first to prevent any short circuits!
Is the fuse located in the same spot for all years of the Traverse? I’ve got a 2015 model.
Good question! I think it varies by year. Most fuses are under the hood, in the fuse box, but checking the owner’s manual helps a lot.
Make sure you take a picture before removing the old fuse. It helps to remember how to install the new one properly!

That’s a great idea, richard71! It’s always tricky to remember everything without a visual aid. Plus, a little extra preparation goes a long way!

Following this thread for sure! Any idea if there’s a specific fuse type I should use?
Yes! Use the same amperage as listed on the old fuse. Usually, it’s a 140A fuse for the alternator in most Traverses.

Safety first! Always ensure the vehicle is off and the keys are out before you start working to avoid any shocks!
Totally agree, jared78. And don’t forget to wear gloves so you don’t get dirty or hurt!
Wow! I never thought changing a fuse could be such a team effort; we should start a support group for DIYers.
