Where is the fuse box located in the Wuling Hongguang S?

The fuse box of the Wuling Hongguang S is located under the hood, on the left side of the battery in the engine compartment. The fuse box is used to house the car's fuses. Taking the Wuling Zhiguang 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 3797mm, width 1510mm, height 1820mm, with a wheelbase of 2500mm and a fuel tank capacity of 38 liters. The Wuling Zhiguang 2020 is equipped with a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 56kW and a maximum torque of 108Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a longitudinal leaf spring rear suspension.
I've previously studied the circuit layouts of many Wuling models. The Hongguang S has two main locations for its fuse boxes: one is in the cabin, just below the steering wheel on the left side. You can see a small storage compartment by looking down, and removing its cover reveals the fuses and relays. The other is in the engine compartment—after lifting the hood, near the battery, there's a black plastic box that specifically handles fuses for the headlights, fuel injectors, and other powertrain components. For safety, remember to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before inspection. The exact location might vary slightly depending on the model year. For instance, I've seen older models where the engine compartment fuse box was hidden behind the left front wheel liner, requiring removal of the fender liner to access it. Keeping a few spare fuses in the car is highly practical. Last time my wipers suddenly stopped working, replacing them with a 10A blue fuse brought them back to life immediately—far more convenient than calling a tow truck.
Over the years of running the repair shop, I've handled hundreds of Hongguang S models. The dual fuse box design of this car is quite scientific: the long cover near the left knee position of the steering wheel, when pried open, reveals the interior fuse box, which controls devices like the cigarette lighter and windows. The exterior fuse box is even more critical, located next to the battery on the left side of the front of the car, requiring the plastic cover to be unscrewed counterclockwise. Many owners can't find the engine compartment fuse box; actually, it's visible by pulling aside the wiring harness shield next to the windshield washer reservoir. A reminder to everyone: always use the plastic clip provided with the car to remove fuses. Last year, a customer used pliers and ended up cracking the base, causing poor headlight contact. After replacing a fuse, remember to check the voltage. Wuling generators are prone to high voltage; if it exceeds 14.5 volts, the voltage regulator needs to be checked.
