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

2. Insert a new fuse rated for the same amperage as the blown fuse. The fuse rating is indicated on the back of the housing. In addition, the housing has a marking applied in paint, the color of which corresponds to a certain rating (see illustration).
12.2 The fuse rating is indicated on the rear side of the housing. A = fuse link
| Nominal 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 cover.
If the new fuse also burns out after a short period of time, the corresponding electrical circuit must be checked.
It is recommended to always carry a set of spare fuses of different ratings. There are appropriate holders on the fuse box cover for this purpose.
Important! The purpose of the fuses and their symbols are constantly changing. Only the most common fuses and their designations are listed above. It is possible that your car has other designations that are not listed here. In such cases, it is recommended to contact a RENAULT workshop for clarification.
Purpose of fuses and relays
Main fuse box near steering wheel
The location of the fuses in the box may depend on the vehicle model.
* Cars with separate low and high 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.
The fuse box is in the engine compartment on the right side near the battery (see illustration 12.0b6)
