Checking and Replacing Fuses
Your vehicle’s electrical system is protected from overloading by fuses. If any electrical component does not work, check the condition of the fuses. If a fuse has blown, the inside element will be melted.
Before changing a fuse, it is necessary to:
- Switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers,
- Identify the failed fuse using the fuse allocation tables and diagrams below,
- Identify and correct the cause of the problem.
When replacing a fuse, you must always:
- Use the special tweezer to extract the fuse from its holder and check the condition of its element,
- Replace a failed fuse by one of the same rating (same colour); the use of a different rating fuse could cause a fault (risk of fire).
If the same fuse blows again, avoid using that system and have the vehicle’s electrical system checked by a Renault dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Notice
- Never use a fuse of a higher or lower amperage rating than that specified. Never replace a broken fuse with anything other than a new fuse (such as wire, foil, etc). This could damage the electrical system or cause a fire.
