406 Fuse Box

Post by sawarren88 »

Hi All,

Just a quickie - I have no handbook for the 406(2001) have recently inherited - I am looking for the passenger compartment fuse box - I have searched the footwells on pass/driver side looking but to no avail.

There is a recessed black cover to the right of the steering wheel in th dash. It is split into two parts but appears to be a blanking plate - I have tried pushing both parts of the cover but no movement.

Hope you are not laughing too much at my attempts to locate the fuse box but a pointer in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

the fuse box is under the drivers steering wheel, there are three clips that you turn 90 degrees with a coin to open, there is also another fuse box under the bonnet, what fuse are you after replacing?
if you don't know where your going, any road will take you there

406 Fuse Box

Thanks for the reply - I was not looking for a specific fuse just wanted to know where box was.

I have only just purchased the car from my mate's father and a few problems have come to light ( trip computer not working, Air con not working, Speedo dropping to zero for 2/3 mins and back up again).

Mate was aware of these probs but did not make me aware before I purchased so he's off the Xmas Card list for 2007.

Thanks again for you help
