In the Ford Fiesta, the fuse box is located on the right side of the dashboard, just behind the glove compartment. To access it, start by opening the glove compartment and, if necessary, empty it for more space and visibility.

At this point, gently push the sides of the compartment inward to release the side catches, allowing the drawer to lower further than usual. This will give you direct access to the fuse box, clearly visible behind the panel.

The position is convenient for carrying out any checks or replacements of fuses in case of electrical faults or malfunctions in the car's system.
