Mr. Anderson

April 9, 2025

To change the fuse for the interior lights in a 2012 Honda Odyssey:

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) and turn off all accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Locate the correct fuse using the fuse chart and confirm the specified amperage on the fuse label.
4. Use the fuse puller on the back of the engine compartment fuse box cover to remove the blown fuse.
5. Replace the blown fuse with a spare fuse of the same amperage rating.

Do not use a fuse with a higher rating, as it may damage the electrical system.
