* Under the Hood: This fuse box usually contains higher-amperage fuses protecting major electrical components like the engine, lights, and starter. This box often has a fuse diagram on the inside of the cover.
* Inside the Cab: This fuse box is usually located under the dashboard, often near the steering column or center console. It protects interior components like power windows, radio, and interior lights. This box also typically has a diagram on the inside of the cover.
To find the correct fuse:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. It will have a detailed diagram showing the location of each fuse and what it protects.
2. Look at the fuse box cover: As mentioned, most fuse boxes have a diagram printed on the inside of the cover. This diagram will usually list the fuse amperage and what circuit it protects.
3. Use an online resource: Websites like RepairPal or online forums dedicated to the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado may have fuse box diagrams. Be cautious and double-check the information against your owner's manual.
Without knowing the specific circuit you're troubleshooting, I cannot tell you which fuse to check. If you are having electrical problems, identifying the affected component first will help you locate the relevant fuse in your owner's manual or fuse box diagram.
Remember to always turn off the ignition before checking or replacing fuses. Also, use the correct amperage fuse to avoid damage to your vehicle's electrical system.
