Understanding the fuse box in your 2006 Saturn Vue is crucial for diagnosing and resolving electrical issues, which can sometimes affect your vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostics system (OBD2). Fuses protect your car’s electrical circuits from overloads, and if your OBD2 port isn’t working, or you’re experiencing other electrical malfunctions, a blown fuse could be the culprit. This guide will help you locate the fuse boxes and identify fuses relevant to your 2006 Saturn Vue, ensuring you can maintain your vehicle’s diagnostic capabilities.
The 2006 Saturn Vue is equipped with two primary fuse box locations. Knowing where these are and what each fuse controls is essential for effective troubleshooting. Below are diagrams and descriptions to help you navigate your vehicle’s fuse system.

When diagnosing OBD2 issues in your 2006 Saturn Vue, it’s important to check fuses that are related to the vehicle’s computer system (ECM, PCM, TCM) and the diagnostic data link connector. Specifically, fuses like “IGN 1”, “BCM”, “RADIO”, and fuses related to the ECM and TCM in the underhood fuse box could indirectly impact OBD2 functionality. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the most accurate fuse information and amperage ratings. If you are unsure about replacing fuses or diagnosing electrical problems, consult a qualified mechanic.
