The wiring circuits and electrical system in the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette are protected from short circuits by a combination of J-Case fuses, mini-fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.
The 2009 Chevy Corvette instrument panel fuse block is located on the passenger side of the vehicle, under the instrument panel and under the toe-board. Remove the carpet and toe-board covering to access the fuse block by pulling at the top of each corner of the panel. Open the fuse block cover to access the fuses. Below schematic diagram shows detail fuse location of 2009 Corvette Instrument Panel Fuse Block and its circuit protected function.
