Fuses and Relays (Mk2 Fiesta)

The fuse-box contains fuses and ten main relays. Access to the relays is made from the rear of the fuse-box. On some models additional relays are located on a bracket behind the fuse-box and in the engine compartment. To check or renew a fuse, open cover and remove. All fuses are push fit. A blown fuse will be recognised by a break in its wire. Attached to the insode of the cover is a plastic tool for use when changing a fuse.

Warning - Before replacing a fuse or a relay, ensure that both the ignition and respective switch are in the off position.
