The main fuses are located in the fuse and relay box, which is located on the instrument panel on the left side of the steering wheel (see illustration 12.0). The block is closed with a lid, which is removed downwards by the handle.

Two more fuse boxes are located in the engine compartment and are also covered with clips.
Before replacing a fuse, always switch off the corresponding current consumer.
A blown fuse can be identified by a melted metal insert (see illustration 12.0a).

1. Remove the blown fuse with the plastic tweezers located under the fuse box cover (see illustration).
12.1 Remove the blown fuse with the plastic tweezers located under the fuse box cover
2. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage as the blown one. The fuse rating is printed on the back of the case. In addition, the case has a marking applied with paint, the color of which corresponds to a certain denomination (see illustration).
12.2 The fuse rating is indicated on the back of the case. A = fusible link
Rated current | Color coding |
5 A | light brown |
7.5 A | brown |
10 A | red |
15 A | blue |
20 A | yellow |
30 A | green |
3. Close the fuse box with the cover.
If the new fuse also blows after a short period of time, the corresponding electrical circuit must be checked.
It is recommended that you carry a set of spare fuses of different ratings with you at all times. There are appropriate holders on the cover of the fuse box for this purpose.
Attention! The purpose of the fuses and their symbols have constantly changed. The above are only the most common fuses and their designation. It is possible that your vehicle has other designations not listed here. In such cases, it is recommended to contact a RENAULT workshop for clarification.
Assignment of fuses and relays
Main fuse box near steering wheel
The location of the fuses in the block may depend on the car model.
* Cars with separate dipped and main beam headlights do not have fuses. Their installation leads to overheating of the high beam headlights, because the high and low beams are on at the same time.
