Learn about Citroën C1 2014-2019 fuse box and relay’s locations, functions, and maintenance tips for optimal vehicle electrical system.
The Citroën C1 (2014-2019) is a stylish and compact city car that comes in two main body styles: a three-door and a five-door hatchback. It is known for its modern design, with bold front headlights, a compact profile, and a choice of bright color options, making it perfect for urban driving. The C1 also offers an “Airscape” version, which features a retractable fabric roof for an open-air driving experience.
Inside, the C1 is equipped with features like a touchscreen infotainment system, smartphone connectivity, and a range of safety technologies, such as hill start assist and lane departure warning.
When it comes to electrical components, the fuse box and relays in the C1 are crucial for managing its electrical functions, including the lights, wipers, and air conditioning system. The fuse box is typically located in the engine bay or behind the dashboard, providing easy access for maintenance. Relays, often found near the fuse box, regulate electrical currents for larger components like the starter motor and fuel pump. Proper care and inspection of these elements help maintain the car’s reliable performance and prevent electrical issues.

WARNING
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
- A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
- On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
- If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
- Terminal and harness assignments for individual connectors will vary depending on vehicle equipment level, model, and market.
