Where is the fuse box of Peugeot 408 located?
2 Answers
Peugeot 408 fuse box is located in the engine compartment. The following is a detailed introduction of the fuse box: 1. Function: The fuse box is an overcurrent protection switch, whose main function is to control the circuit operation. There are many circuits in the car, and the fuse plays a role in protecting the circuit. When the circuit temperature is too high or the current is too large, the fuse can blow to protect the circuit. 2. Impact of blowing: There are many fuses and relays in the car fuse box. When a fuse blows, some functions of the car will be affected. After the fuse blows, it needs to be replaced with a new one. 3. Replacement precautions: When replacing the fuse, use a special clip to remove the fuse. The fuse box in the engine compartment is usually located near the battery, while the fuse box in the cabin is generally located in the main driver's position or the glove box of the co-driver.
I've been driving a Peugeot 408 for several years and am quite familiar with the fuse box locations. There are usually two spots: one is inside the cabin near the left pedal below the steering wheel, accessible by removing a small panel under the dashboard where various fuses (like those for headlights and AC) are housed. The other is in the engine compartment near the battery, specifically located on the firewall with a plastic cover. I recommend turning off the engine before checking to prevent electric shock. Once located, you can inspect fuses for burns and replace them accordingly—just avoid random removal; always verify the correct type using the owner's manual. I once fixed my headlights by replacing a fuse myself, which was both cost-effective and convenient. Peugeot's design makes maintenance user-friendly, though the hidden placement can be easily overlooked. Regular checks help prevent sudden electrical failures during drives, ensuring safer trips, especially on nighttime highways. Keep the manual handy or take photos of the locations for future reference.
