The Acura TSX is equipped with two fuse boxes, and each has a series of fuses responsible for various parts. The fuses in your car are critical components to your car's safety.

If an electrical part or device stops working, the fuse box should be the first place you look. Read on to learn more about your Acura TSX's fuses.
Fuse Box Locations
As mentioned above, the Acura TSX is equipped with two fuse boxes. One is located under the hood, and the other is located in the footwell of the driver's side. Both of the fuse boxes are protected by plastic covers that are easy to remove. The best way to locate a specific fuse is to look in your owner's manual, which provides fuse box diagrams. However, this information is also on the fuse box cover itself.
Open the fuse box, then turn the cover over and you will find a fuse box diagram. The next time you have an electrical component go awry, check your fuse boxes for a faulty fuse; you may be facing a very cheap fix if it's just the fuse that's blown.
Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
When you have an electrical issue, even something as simple as the dome light not working, the wisest thing you can do is inspect the fuse responsible for the part. So use the fuse box diagram on the back of the fuse box cover to locate the desired fuse, then pull it out using a screwdriver to pry at the edges.
The fuse has a metal bar inside of it and is designed to break whenever the voltage gets too high, which prevents electrical issues. Inspect the fuse and make sure the metal line inside of it is still attached to itself; if it's broken, replace the fuse. Make sure you purchase the correct fuse, then install it by just plugging it in.
