  • In this video I show you where the 30 Amp main fuse and the Starter Relay are on my 2006 Toyota Corolla. This should be in the same location on 2003-2008 Toyota Corollas. I have other videos on my 2006 Toyota Corolla on my channel. If you are interested and have time, please check those videos out. Thanks for watching!

    My 2005 Corolla is experiencing intermittent starts. I am currently at the Gas station and it will not start, so I pushed it into a parking stall. Thanks to your video, I have discovered a possible failed 30A Fuse, and replaced it with the spare as you instructed. The car is still not starting, so I will wait a while to see if it will start, then, I will proceed to the Local O'Reilly's Auto Parts store to see if they can replace the Starter Relay...I will remind them to disconnect the battery.

      I just did it, took like 2 minutes. I popped that change holder out, stuck a flashlight in there. Slide seat back and law down by the pedals, look up from under and you see it behind a white plastic mount. I put my thumb and finger around the ends, and popped it out, put the new one in and car fired right up.

    If you here the click click click from under the hood it's the starter solenoid which is attached to the starter which is located under the intake manifold. If it's click click clicking that means the starter relay is working just fine.

    My 2003 Toyota Matrix stopped cranking halfway through.
    I replaced the battery, starter, starter switch... and nothing worked. lights come on and react to me turning the key.
    I'm hoping it is this fuse.
    I pulled out the fuse and there was gunk on the prongs. Two of the prongs looked to be a bit burnt. It's the original part so, maybe it is time to change it?
    I read elsewhere that they use the same fuses for that of a 00's Corolla.

It is a good practice to disconnect the battery when performing electrical repairs but the reason is to protect other components from an unwanted load.

    It was killing me, was also considering changing the neutral safety switch, sometimes is the simple things we overlook.
