Is there a fuse for fuel injector?

It depends on the vehicle.

In most modern vehicles, fuel injectors are directly controlled by the engine control module (ECM) and do not have a dedicated fuse. The ECM receives power from the main battery fuse and distributes it to the injectors.

However, some older vehicles might have a separate fuse for the fuel injector circuit. You can check your vehicle's owner's manual or consult a wiring diagram to determine if your vehicle has a separate fuse for the fuel injectors.

Here's why you might be asking:

* Fuel injector problems: If you suspect a fuel injector issue, you might want to check the fuse. However, a blown fuse is less likely to be the cause of fuel injector problems.

* Troubleshooting electrical problems: If you're experiencing electrical problems, checking the fuses is a good place to start.

Instead of looking for a dedicated fuel injector fuse, consider these troubleshooting steps:

* Check the ECM: Ensure the ECM is receiving power.

* Inspect wiring: Look for damaged or loose wiring in the fuel injector circuit.

* Test the injectors: Use a fuel injector tester to confirm they're functioning correctly.

* Consult a mechanic: If you're unable to diagnose the problem, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic.

Remember, working with electrical systems can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable doing it yourself, it's always best to seek professional help.
