Peugeot 207 Fuse Box: How to Find, Read, and Use the Fuse Box Diagrams
This is a free printable peugeot 207 fuse box diagram: download the diagram as SVG or open it and print to paper or PDF.
Learn where the Peugeot 207 fuse boxes are located, how to read the lid legends, and the safe procedure for identifying and replacing blown fuses.
The Peugeot 207 is fitted with two fuse and relay boxes: one in the passenger compartment (typically behind a trim panel on the dashboard, lower left on right-hand-drive vehicles) and one in the engine compartment (a black plastic box, generally near the battery on the left side of the engine bay). The exact location varies slightly between the 2006–2014 model years and between body variants (hatchback, CC convertible, SW estate, and Van).
Each fuse box carries a diagram printed on the inside of its cover lid. This lid legend is the definitive and most accurate reference for that specific vehicle, as it corresponds exactly to the fuse layout and the specification with which that particular car was manufactured. Circuit designations and amperage values printed on the lid are vehicle-specific — they can differ between engine variants, market specifications, and production years even within the same model range.
For this reason, this guide provides general procedure for locating and using the fuse boxes, rather than a specific fuse-position or amperage table. Reproducing a fuse table without the original engineering data for your exact vehicle creates a risk of installing the wrong fuse rating, which could damage wiring, fail to protect a circuit, or leave a genuine fault undetected. Always refer to the legend printed on the fuse box cover of your specific car or to the owner's manual supplied with the vehicle.
Fuses are colour-coded by amperage in the internationally standardised blade-fuse palette: a 5 A fuse is orange/tan, 7.5 A is brown, 10 A is red, 15 A is blue, 20 A is yellow, 25 A is clear/natural, 30 A is green, and 40 A is amber. This colour code applies to the standard ATO/ATC (regular) and mini blade fuse types used throughout the 207's interior and engine compartment boxes.
The engine compartment box also contains relay sockets and high-current fuses (maxi-fuses or fusible links) protecting major circuits such as the alternator output, the main battery supply to the body control module (BSI — Boîtier de Servitude Intelligent), and the fan circuit. These high-current protective elements should only be replaced after the cause of any failure is diagnosed — replacing a blown maxi-fuse without finding the root cause risks damage to expensive electronics.
How to wire peugeot 207 fuse box diagram
- Gather your resources before opening the fuse box Locate the vehicle's owner's manual — the fuse box diagram in the manual is edition-specific to your market and model year. If the manual is missing, the lid diagram on the fuse box is the primary reference. Do not rely on internet tables as a substitute for the physical legend on your vehicle.
- Identify the affected circuit Before opening any fuse box, note which system or component has stopped working. Common symptoms include: an interior light not functioning, a specific window not operating, the radio not powering on, or a warning light on the instrument cluster. Knowing the affected system helps you focus on the correct fuse box and the correct section of the lid diagram.
- Open the correct fuse box For interior electrical systems (lights, radio, windows, central locking), check the dashboard fuse box first. For engine-related or charging-system faults, check the engine bay box. Refer to the general location guidance in the Explainer section above, and consult the owner's manual for your specific variant.
- Read the lid legend to identify the relevant fuse Open the fuse box cover and read the diagram on the inside of the lid. Each numbered position corresponds to a labelled circuit description. Identify the fuse position for the affected system. Note the amperage (printed on the lid and moulded on the fuse itself) and the fuse type (standard ATO or mini).
- Inspect the fuse visually and with a test light Using a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers, carefully extract the suspect fuse. Hold it to the light — a blown fuse has a visibly melted or broken element inside the translucent body. For confirmation, use a low-cost automotive test light or a multimeter in continuity mode to verify the fuse is open. Do not use a self-powered continuity tester on a fuse that is still in the vehicle circuit.
- Replace the fuse with the exact correct rating Insert a new fuse of exactly the same amperage rating and the same physical type (ATO or mini blade) as the blown fuse. Do not substitute a higher-rated fuse. The replacement fuse should click firmly into position. Close the fuse box lid securely.
- Test the repaired circuit and monitor for recurrence Energise the vehicle and test the affected system. If the new fuse immediately blows, there is a fault in the circuit that must be diagnosed before further replacement. Take the vehicle to a qualified auto electrician. If the fuse holds, monitor the circuit over the next few operating cycles to confirm the fault has not recurred.

Safety warnings
- Disconnect the battery negative terminal before replacing high-current fuses or maxi-fuses in the engine compartment fuse box. High-current fuses protect circuits carrying significant amperage; working on these with the battery connected risks short circuits and arc flash.
- Never replace a blown fuse with one of a higher amperage rating. A higher-rated fuse allows excessive current to flow in the protected circuit, which can overheat wiring, melt insulation, and cause a vehicle fire. If the correct-rated replacement fuse blows again, the circuit has a fault that must be professionally diagnosed.
- If a fuse position in the engine bay box shows signs of heat damage — melted plastic, discoloured terminals, or a burning smell — do not simply replace the fuse. Consult a qualified auto electrician. Heat damage indicates a sustained overcurrent event that may have damaged the wiring harness.
- The Peugeot 207 BSI (Body Control Module) manages many vehicle functions and is sensitive to voltage spikes. Avoid disconnecting the battery with the ignition on, and allow the BSI to power down before disconnecting the battery to prevent electronic faults and the need for reconfiguration.
- This guide provides generic procedural information only. It does not replace the vehicle-specific information in the owner's manual or the fuse box lid legend. Fuse specifications vary by variant, engine, and year — always verify against your specific vehicle before replacing any fuse.
Tools needed
- Fuse puller (usually in the fuse box lid)
- Needle-nose pliers (if fuse puller is missing)
- Automotive 12 V test light
- Digital multimeter
- Torch / flashlight
- Owner's manual
Common mistakes
- Using a generic online fuse table rather than the lid legend on the specific vehicle — amperage values vary between model years and trim levels and an incorrect reference creates the risk of installing the wrong rating.
- Replacing a blown fuse with a higher-amperage fuse when the correct rating is not immediately available — this bypasses the circuit protection and can cause wiring damage or fire.
- Not disconnecting the battery before working on the engine bay fuse box, particularly when replacing maxi-fuses or relay sockets carrying large continuous currents.
- Pushing fuses in at an angle so they appear seated but make poor contact, leading to intermittent circuit faults that are difficult to diagnose.
- Failing to investigate why a fuse blew — a fuse is a symptom indicator, not the root cause. Replacing a fuse without finding the underlying fault means the same fuse will blow again.
Troubleshooting
- New fuse blows immediately when circuit is energised
- Cause: Short circuit or dead short in the wiring or a failed component on that circuit Fix: Do not insert another fuse. Identify all loads on that circuit from the fuse box lid legend. Disconnect them one by one and test for the short with a multimeter (resistance to chassis ground with the fuse removed and circuit de-energised). When the short disappears, the last disconnected component is the source. Repair or replace the faulty component.
- Circuit intermittently stops working despite the fuse appearing intact
- Cause: High-resistance connection at the fuse terminal (corroded or bent terminal), or a marginal component drawing current near the fuse rating Fix: Remove the fuse and inspect both the fuse terminals and the fuse box terminal slots for corrosion or damage. Slightly close the fuse box terminal slots with a small flat tool to improve contact pressure. Re-test. If the problem persists, measure voltage drop across the fuse under load — more than 0.1 V indicates a resistance problem at the connection.
- Cannot identify which circuit a fuse position serves
- Cause: Fuse box lid legend is damaged, missing, or unreadable; or the vehicle has been modified from standard Fix: Obtain the owner's manual PDF from Peugeot's official owner documentation resource or a national Peugeot dealer. As an alternative, a qualified auto electrician can trace the circuit using a wiring schematic from Peugeot technical documentation. Do not guess the circuit from an unverified internet source.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the interior fuse box on a Peugeot 207?
On most Peugeot 207 variants, the interior fuse and relay box is behind a panel on the lower left of the dashboard, below the steering column on right-hand-drive vehicles. Remove the trim cover by pressing the release tab or clips — no tools are typically required. The fuse lid diagram is printed on the inside of this cover. Exact location may vary by market and body style.
Where is the engine compartment fuse box on a Peugeot 207?
The engine bay fuse and relay box is a black plastic enclosure generally positioned near the battery, on the left side of the engine bay (when facing the engine). Lift the spring-release or slide-release clips on the cover to open it. The lid carries the layout diagram for that box. The battery must be disconnected before replacing high-current fuses in this box.
Can I use a generic Peugeot 207 fuse table I found online?
No. Fuse positions and amperage ratings vary between model years, engine variants, equipment levels, and market specifications within the 207 range. An incorrect fuse rating is a safety risk — a fuse with too high a rating will not protect the circuit. Always use the legend printed on your specific vehicle's fuse box cover or the owner's manual for that vehicle.
What blade fuse sizes does the Peugeot 207 use?
The 207 uses a combination of standard ATO/ATC blade fuses and mini blade fuses in the interior box, and standard or maxi blade fuses in the engine bay box. The correct type and size for each position is indicated on the fuse box lid. Do not replace a blown fuse with a higher-rated fuse or a different fuse type.
What should I do if a fuse keeps blowing?
A repeatedly blowing fuse indicates a persistent overcurrent or short circuit on that specific circuit. Simply replacing the fuse without finding and fixing the underlying fault is not safe. The circuit should be inspected for damaged wiring, a faulty component, or a chafed cable contacting the body. A qualified auto electrician should diagnose the root cause before the fuse is replaced again.
