This guide explains how to find and read the fuse boxes on a Peugeot Partner van or car-derived van, interpret the fuse legend, identify which fuse protects a failed circuit, and safely check and replace fuses — without relying on a fabricated fuse table.

The Peugeot Partner has been produced across multiple generations, each with different fuse box locations, fuse quantities, relay layouts, and circuit assignments. Because fuse allocation changes between model years, engine specifications, optional equipment levels, and markets, any fixed fuse-number-to-circuit table published outside of the vehicle-specific service documentation must be used with extreme caution — and many tables found on general websites are inaccurate for specific production dates or market variants.

The authoritative source for the exact fuse assignment of your specific vehicle is the fuse box lid itself. The underside of the fuse box cover has a printed or moulded diagram and legend listing each fuse position number, the protected circuit, and the fuse current rating. This legend is the only reliable reference for your individual vehicle, because changes introduced during the production run of a single model generation may alter fuse assignments without a corresponding change in the model name or year designation.

Peugeot Partners across generations typically have two or three fuse/relay boxes: one in the passenger compartment (usually behind the dashboard on the driver's or passenger's side, accessed by removing a trim panel or opening a dedicated cover), and one in the engine compartment (the BSM — Battery Security Module or BSI — Built-in Systems Interface box, typically located near the battery). Some variants also have a third auxiliary fuse location.

The engine bay fuse/relay box is the BSI (Boitier de Servitude Intelligent — Intelligent Fuse and Relay Box on Citroën/Peugeot platforms). This is a combined fuse, relay, and electronic control module that manages many vehicle functions including lighting, wipers, central locking, and alarm systems. The BSI does not operate like a conventional passive fuse box — some circuits are protected by high-current fuses and some by electronic current limiting within the BSI module itself. Accessing and testing BSI-protected circuits requires specific knowledge and, for programming or replacement, manufacturer-specific diagnostic equipment.

General electrical fault diagnosis methodology — identify the failed circuit, locate its fuse using the cover legend, visually inspect the fuse, test with a multimeter, replace like-for-like, and identify the root cause of the blown fuse before returning the vehicle to service — is consistent regardless of the specific fuse assignment table.

Identify which electrical circuit has failed Before touching the fuse box, establish precisely which function has stopped working. Test systematically: if the radio is dead, confirm the audio head unit has no power (no display, no sound), that the vehicle power supply is present (other accessories work), and that the fault is not a blown radio-internal fuse or a disconnected aerial. Knowing the failed circuit exactly determines which fuse to investigate.
Locate the fuse box for the failed circuit Consult your vehicle owner's handbook (provided with the vehicle or available as a PDF from Peugeot) for the fuse box locations specific to your model and year. For most Partners: the passenger compartment fuse box is behind a trim panel on the dashboard or in the footwell. The engine compartment box is near the battery. The owner's handbook will indicate which box controls which general category of circuits (interior, engine management, body electronics).
Open the fuse box and read the legend on the cover Carefully remove the fuse box cover. The underside of the cover has the fuse position diagram — numbers (or alphanumeric codes) correspond to fuse positions. Find the circuit that has failed on the legend. Note the fuse position number and the rated current (amperage) specified. Photograph the legend with your phone before doing anything else — this preserves the reference if the cover becomes separated from the vehicle.
Visually inspect the identified fuse Locate the fuse at the position identified. Blade fuses (the most common type on modern Peugeot Partners — Mini, Standard, Maxi, and Micro blade types) can be inspected visually through the transparent plastic body. Look for a broken wire element inside the fuse body. However, some blown fuses show no visible damage — the element vaporises cleanly. Visual inspection alone is not conclusive — always test with a multimeter or test probe.
Test the fuse with a multimeter Using a multimeter in continuity mode (or resistance mode), remove the fuse with a fuse puller (never with metal pliers — risk of short circuit). Place the probes on each of the two fuse blade contacts. A healthy fuse reads near-zero resistance (continuity). A blown fuse reads open circuit (infinite resistance). Alternatively, use the test points beside the fuse position (where fitted) with the circuit live, as described in the FAQ above.
Replace the fuse with an identical rating Fit a new fuse of exactly the same current rating as the blown fuse — the same amperage marked on the blown fuse and on the legend. Use the same blade type (Mini, Standard, or Maxi). Do not use a fuse of a different rating. Restore the circuit and test the function. If the fuse blows again immediately or within a short time, there is an underlying electrical fault in the protected circuit — do not continue fitting new fuses; diagnose the fault.
Diagnose the root cause if the fuse blows again A repeatedly blown fuse means the circuit is drawing more current than its design limit, which indicates a short circuit (usually wiring chafed against the bodywork or a failed component), an overloaded circuit, or a faulty component with internal failure. Isolate the circuit by disconnecting loads one at a time while the fuse is fitted — when disconnecting a load stops the fuse from blowing, that component or its wiring is the fault location. Consult a qualified auto electrician if the fault is not readily traceable.

Battery voltage (engine running, charging)	13.8–14.4 V DC

Safety warnings

Disconnect the vehicle battery negative terminal before removing or handling the engine bay fuse/relay box (BSI). The BSI contains capacitors that retain charge after ignition-off, and mishandling components in the BSI area with the battery connected risks damage to the BSI module — a costly component to replace and program.
Never use metal-bodied pliers, screwdrivers, or similar tools to remove fuses from the fuse box. A metal tool bridging two adjacent fuse slots creates a short circuit that can blow multiple fuses simultaneously, damage vehicle wiring, or damage the BSI module. Use only the plastic fuse puller provided in the vehicle toolkit, or a purpose-made plastic fuse extraction tool.
Never fit a fuse of a higher current rating than specified. The fuse protects the downstream wiring, not the component. A 10 A circuit protected by a 20 A fuse allows the wiring to carry twice its design current before the fuse operates — leading to overheated wiring, melted insulation, and potentially a vehicle fire. Always match the rated amperage exactly.
If the vehicle has been involved in a flood or submersion, do not attempt to operate electrical systems or remove fuses without professional assessment. Water in the fuse box, wiring harness, or BSI causes corrosion and short circuits that can be intermittent and difficult to diagnose — and water in the BSI typically requires full replacement of the module.
If a fuse controls a safety-critical system (ABS, airbag, brake lights, steering assistance), do not operate the vehicle after that fuse has blown until the fault has been fully diagnosed and the circuit repaired. Driving with a failed ABS, airbag, or brake light circuit is dangerous and may also be a legal violation.

Tools needed

Plastic fuse puller (from vehicle toolkit or purchased separately)
Digital multimeter (continuity and DC voltage testing)
Automotive test probe (for quick fuse test-point checks)
Replacement blade fuse assortment (matching current ratings)
Vehicle owner's handbook (for fuse box location and general guidance)
Pen torch or LED work light (fuse boxes are often in dark locations)
Trim removal tools (plastic pry tools, to access dashboard fuse box without damage)

Common mistakes

Using a fuse table from a generic website rather than the legend on the fuse box cover — fuse assignments differ between model years, markets, and option levels; an incorrect fuse reference causes time wasted investigating the wrong fuse position.
Fitting a higher-rated fuse when the correct rating is unavailable — an incorrect rating removes protection from the circuit wiring and is a fire hazard.
Diagnosing a blown fuse as the root cause rather than a symptom — the fuse blew because the circuit drew excess current; fitting a new fuse without identifying why the original blew will result in the replacement fuse blowing again.
Attempting to repair a BSI module or its internal fuses without the correct specialist equipment and training — the BSI is a programmable control module and incorrect interference with it can disable multiple vehicle functions simultaneously.
Leaving the fuse box cover off after investigation — the cover legend is essential for any future diagnosis; a lost or damaged cover means the fuse layout is unknown to the next person who works on the vehicle.
Assuming a circuit fault is always caused by a blown fuse — many circuit faults (no power to a component, inoperative device) are caused by corroded connectors, broken wiring, or a failed component rather than a blown fuse; if the fuse is intact, the fault is elsewhere in the circuit.

Troubleshooting

A vehicle function (e.g., interior lighting, electric windows, radio) has stopped working: Cause: Blown fuse protecting the circuit; or a wiring fault, failed component, or tripped relay — blown fuse is the first and most accessible thing to check Fix: Identify the circuit from the fuse legend on the box cover. Locate and test the fuse (visual inspection plus continuity test). If blown, fit an identical-rated replacement. If the replacement holds and the circuit works, the original fuse was blown by a transient overload. If the replacement blows immediately, there is an active fault in the circuit — diagnose before fitting another fuse.
A circuit works intermittently — sometimes working, sometimes not: Cause: A fuse with a cracked but not fully broken element (micro-fracture); a corroded fuse blade or fuse box terminal; or a relay with intermittent contact — not always a blown fuse Fix: Remove and re-seat the fuse — a corroded or poorly seated fuse can cause intermittent connection. If intermittent, clean the fuse blades and socket contacts with electrical contact cleaner, or replace the fuse with a new one of identical rating. If the fault persists, the relay or downstream wiring is likely at fault.
Multiple circuits have failed simultaneously: Cause: A main (large-current) fuse or fusible link protecting a whole bus has blown; or the BSI itself has a fault; or a major short circuit has damaged multiple circuits simultaneously Fix: Check the large-current fuses (30 A, 40 A, 60 A, 80 A types) in the engine bay fuse box — these protect whole electrical buses and their failure disables all circuits supplied from that bus. Check for a fusible link (a wire-type fuse integrated into the main battery cable) in addition to blade fuses. If all large fuses are intact, suspect a BSI fault — consult a Peugeot specialist with access to PSA diagnostic software.
The correct fuse position cannot be identified because the lid legend is missing or illegible: Cause: The fuse box cover label has been lost, damaged, or become illegible from age, spills, or UV exposure Fix: Obtain the vehicle wiring diagram and fuse layout specific to your VIN from a Peugeot dealer, an authorised workshop, or a reputable professional source using the vehicle identification number. Aftermarket service information subscriptions (Autodata, Mitchell1, Haynes Pro, or equivalent) contain model-specific fuse diagrams. Do not use generic fuse tables from unverified online sources.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the fuse box on a Peugeot Partner?

The exact location varies by generation. Most Peugeot Partners have at least two fuse and relay locations: one in the passenger compartment (behind a trim panel on the dashboard, typically accessible from the driver's footwell or by removing a cover) and one in the engine compartment near the battery (the BSI or engine bay fusebox). Open the relevant cover and check the underside — the fuse legend is printed there.

Why should I not use a fuse table found online for my Peugeot Partner?

Fuse assignments on the Peugeot Partner vary by model year, generation, trim level, engine, optional equipment, and market. A table written for one variant may be incorrect for yours — a fuse listed as protecting the radio may actually protect the ABS pump on your production date. Always use the legend printed on the underside of the fuse box lid as the primary reference. If the legend label is missing or illegible, obtain the vehicle wiring diagram from the dealer or a specialist source using your vehicle's VIN.

How do I check if a fuse has blown without removing it?

Many fuse boxes include a built-in fuse test point — two small contacts beside each fuse slot. With a test probe or a multimeter in DC voltage mode, touch the probe to each test point with the circuit powered: both test points should show battery voltage (approximately 12 V) on a healthy fuse. If one side shows 12 V and the other side shows 0 V, the fuse element has blown. This method works without removing the fuse and avoids accidental contact with adjacent terminals.

What happens if I fit a higher-rated fuse to replace a repeatedly blown fuse?

Fitting a higher-rated fuse does not fix the fault — it removes the protection. The fuse is protecting the wiring and components downstream; if that fuse was rated 10 A and you fit a 20 A fuse, the wiring rated for 10 A can now carry 19 A before the fuse opens. This causes overheating, insulation melting, and potentially a vehicle fire. Always fit the exact rated replacement and diagnose the root cause of the blown fuse.

What is the BSI (Built-in Systems Interface) on a Peugeot Partner and can I access it as a fuse box?

The BSI is a combined intelligent fuse, relay, and control module used on PSA (Peugeot/Citroën) vehicles. It manages many vehicle electrical functions electronically rather than purely through conventional fuses. Large-current circuits have conventional fuses inside or adjacent to the BSI. However, some BSI-managed circuits are electronically current-limited and do not use conventional fuses. BSI replacement or reprogramming requires manufacturer-specific diagnostic equipment and dealer involvement.
