There is no fuse issue. Just rumor and conjecture that's churned back up every time someone new finds SoCal's old "loose fuse" thread.

hhrcrafty, Both my hhrs('06 2LT,'08 SS) fuse blocks needed attention. All fuses in both vehicles WERE loose not pressed in all the way. The vendor that supplied GM had some troubles with the pressure on installing the fuses. This is not a fable. I'm not trying to get into a whining session here...just stating facts. Still better safe than sorry.(ie-hitting a bump and jarring a fuse loose.)
Still enjoy the ride everyone:twothumbs

Talking Anxiously Waiting...

I just came back from the dealer putting a down deposit on my HHR. I can hardly wait for it to get here... so much to look forward to. I gotta an '08 2LT, Black on Black Ebony Leather w/chrome package, sunroof, roof rails. My lil broham got me lookin into the retro market and came nice with a PT cruiser so the Big Broham had to come bigger and better! My 1st mods up to bat... Tint, 20in Diablo Wishbones and Excelon DNX 8120. Contemplating other mods but need to check on warranty. Would love a billeted 3 bar w/black bowtie and honeycomb background... anyone to point me in the right direction? Stock pics to come soon, then 1st mods...


sidenote... anyone tried putting a ps3 with HD screens yet?

So far, all 3 bar grills are custom made.

I have a 2006 and while the fuses may feel like they aren't fully seated, they definitely are. If this was a REAL problem, it would have been corrected during pre-production testing. I think someone in the loop actually posted a while back that the test engineers were getting a good laugh over the whole thing, in fact.

You can keep pressing them down all you want, but all you're doing is wasting time and wearing out the contacts.

Hey guys, I didn't mean to start a thing about the fuses. But I do have a question about them. Where is the fuse box on the passenger side? There is a box up under the dash, but it looks to be a part of the heating/cooling fan system. If I am mistaken and this is the fuse box, then how do you open it?

It's on the passenger side of the console by the left foot position
