REPLACING FUSES

GENERAL INFORMATION

Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene (blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the system. When a device does not work, check the condition of its protection fuse: the filament must be intact. If it is not, replace the blown fuse with another with the same amperage (same colour).

• 2 = intact fuse.
• 3 = fuse with damaged filament.

Fuse Tong

To replace a fuse, use the tongs housed in the luggage compartment fusebox cover (fig. 254).

Grab the pliers from the upper tabs, press them and extract the pliers pulling upwards.

The pliers (fig. 255) have two different ends, specifically designed to remove the different types of fuse present in the car:

1. MINI fuse
2. J-CASE fuse

FUSE LOCATION

The fuses, which can be replaced by the user, are grouped in two boxes below the passenger side foot board and inside the luggage compartment.

Fusebox Under Passenger Side Footboard

To access the fuses, proceed as follows:

1. Lift the upper end of the footboard (1) fig. 256 on the passenger side, pulling it to release the 2 buttons.
2. Remove the panel (2) fig. 257, extracting it downward, after unscrewing the two fixing hooks.

The fuses are freely accessible in the fusebox. The number identifying the electrical component corresponding to each fuse is shown on the fusebox cover. After replacing the fuse, make sure that panel (2) and footboard (1) are correctly locked.

Luggage Compartment Fusebox

To access the fuses, proceed as follows:

1. Lift the load carrying plane.
2. Remove the fusebox cover fig. 258.

The number identifying the electrical component corresponding to each fuse is shown on the cover. After replacing a fuse, make sure that you have closed cover correctly.

WARNING

• 172) Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; RISK OF FIRE.
• 173) Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition device is at STOP and that all devices are switched off and/or disconnected.
• 174) Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership if a safety system (air bags, brakes), transmission system (engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse blows.
• 175) If a fuse blows again, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
• 176) If a general protective fuse (MAXIFUSE, MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) blows, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership.

IMPORTANT

• 71) Never replace a faulty fuse with metal wires or anything else.
• 72) If it is necessary to wash the engine compartment, take care not to directly hit the fusebox and the window wiper motors with the water jet.
