Chevrolet Corvette (C8) 2020-2022 fuse box and relay Diagrams
The Chevrolet Corvette C8 (2020-2022) represents a groundbreaking shift to a mid-engine design super car, blending performance and modern technology. Its electrical system, like all vehicles, is protected by fuses and relays to ensure smooth and safe operation of various components.
The fuse box in the Corvette C8 is located in both the engine compartment and the interior. The engine compartment fuse box manages high-demand systems such as the engine control unit, cooling system, and lighting. The interior fuse box covers lower-demand systems like the infotainment, power windows, and interior lighting. Fuses in these boxes prevent circuit overloads by cutting power if a fault is detected.
Relays in the Corvette C8 function as switches that control high-power systems such as the fuel pump, starter motor, and cooling fans. These relays enable lower-current circuits to safely control high-current systems. Regular inspection and maintenance of the fuses and relays are critical to ensure the vehicle’s complex electrical systems continue operating without issues, safeguarding essential and luxury features alike.

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.
