Cabin Fuse Panel

Cabin Fuse Panel

This is a more technical page, if you are simply looking for vehicle-specific fuse and relay information or minimum required fuses, see HERE instead, and for general relay information, see HERE

This page is a half complete mess from an idea that went as well as a lead balloon. The only reason this page still exists is due to the time it took to create, and the hope that someone can make sense of anything discovered in here. Every attempt has been made to make the notes here legible, but this is not guaranteed.

the cabin fuse box has 11 individual electrical plugs that comprise it’s wiring, and as such the wiring has been divided as below per plug.

All diagrams assume that you are facing either the front or the back of the cabin fuse panel, with the relays at the top.

Cabin Fuse Panel - Front Cabin Fuse Panel - Rear

Pictures of how the fuse panel should be facing you from the front a rear respectively

Reading this guide

Use the legends table below to decipher what each code means. This was made in order to make more sense of the pins on both the front AND back of the cabin fuse box

Code Meaning Notes
Fx-y Fuse location by number index requires below diagram or labelled cabin fuse panel. e.g. F1-1 for the top pin of fuse 1, F1-2 for fuse 1’s bottom pin, etc. (assume you are facing the cabin fuse panel with the relays at the top and the fuses down the bottom)
Rx-y Relay pin location by index requires guide below, e.g. R1-1 for the top pin of the A/C relay

Fuse & Relay Connectors (Front)

These connectors are identifiable according to the annotated image:

fuse and relay connector layout

The P/WIN and AMP fuses are not marked on purpose, both because they are clearly marked AND because depending on the manual, these have different designations, which overlap with the existing fuses in the bottom
