Changing A Fuse; Replacing A Fuse - CITROËN C5 Handbook

Practical information

Changing a fuse

The 2 fuseboxes are located below the dashboard and under the bonnet.

Replacing a fuse

Before replacing a fuse, you must:
- ascertain the cause of the fault and have it
remedied,
- switch off all electrical consumers,
- park the vehicle and switch off the ignition,
- identify the failed fuse using the allocation
tables and diagrams presented on the
following pages.
When replacing a fuse, it is essential to:
- use the special tweezer, located on the
cover close to the fusebox, to extract
the fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament,
- always replace a failed fuse with one of
equivalent rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause a malfunction
(risk of fire).
If the fault recurs soon after replacing the
fuse, have the electrical system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
