This luxury SUV was manufactured in the United States from 2004 to 2010. Two drivetrain configurations were offered for the North American market: rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). The dimensions of this full-size SUV are impressive: its overall length reaches 5.25 meters, its width exceeds two meters (2,019 mm), and its height is just one millimeter shy of two meters (1,999 mm). The vehicle comfortably seats up to eight passengers.
In this article, we take a detailed look at the fuse box diagrams for the 1st-generation Infiniti QX56 (chassis code JA60) covering model years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. Here you will find fuse box locations, photos, and distribution block layouts. The fuse responsible for the “Cigarette lighter” is highlighted in bold.
