Where are fuses in a Ford Fiesta?

The fuses in a Ford Fiesta are located in the fuse box, which is typically found in the engine compartment or under the dashboard. The fuse box houses the various fuses that protect the electrical components and circuits in the vehicle.


Locating the Fuse Box in a Ford Fiesta


The fuse box in a Ford Fiesta is usually located in one of two places:



  • Engine Compartment Fuse Box: This fuse box is typically found in the engine compartment, often near the battery or on the driver's side of the engine bay.

  • Dashboard Fuse Box: This fuse box is located under the dashboard, usually on the driver's side of the vehicle.


To access the fuse box, you'll need to consult your Ford Fiesta's owner's manual or look for the fuse box cover, which is usually labeled and can be easily removed.


Identifying and Replacing Fuses


Once you've located the fuse box, you can identify the specific fuse that needs to be replaced by referring to the fuse diagram, which is typically located on the underside of the fuse box cover or in the owner's manual. The fuses are usually labeled with the component or circuit they protect, such as "Headlights" or "Radio".


To replace a fuse, simply pull the old fuse out and insert a new fuse with the same amperage rating. It's important to use the correct replacement fuse to avoid damage to the electrical system.


By following these steps, you can easily locate and replace fuses in your Ford Fiesta, ensuring that the vehicle's electrical components continue to function properly.

Where is the inside fuse box located?


The interior fuse box is typically located under the steering column on the driver's side of the vehicle's dashboard. It may be behind a panel that needs to be pulled down or have a cover that you need to remove. Some vehicles may also place it under the glove box or in the luggage compartment.
