Where to Find the Fuses of the Citroen C3

The fuse box in the cabin is situated at the bottom of the dashboard, above the pedals; to access the fuses, simply remove a small cover (where applicable). To replace a fuse, use small pliers to grasp the fuse to be changed and pull it out; if the bridge inside the fuse is broken, the fuse needs to be replaced; otherwise, the fuse is functioning. If the fuse needs to be replaced, use one with the same amperage to avoid malfunctions.
