Citroen C3: Changing a fuse / Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse:
- Identify the cause of the fault and fix it.
- Stop all power consumption.
- Immobilise the vehicle and switch the ignition
off.
- Identify the defective fuse using the current
allocation tables and diagrams.
To replace a fuse, it is essential to:
- Use the special tweezers to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of its
filament.
- Always replace the failed fuse with a fuse of
the same rating (same colour); use of a different
rating may cause malfunctions - risk of fire!
If the fault recurs after replacing a fuse, have the
electrical system checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The fuse allocation tables
and the
corresponding diagrams are available
from a CITROËN dealer or from a qualified
workshop.
The replacement of a fuse
not shown in
the allocation tables may cause a serious
malfunction of your vehicle. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
