Find fuse box and relay locations for the Chevrolet Metro 1998-2001, with diagrams. Key information for maintaining essential electrical components and functionality.
The Chevrolet Metro (1998-2001) is a compact, economical car that comes in both two-door hatchback and four-door sedan body styles. Known for its fuel efficiency and affordability, the Metro is a popular choice for city driving and daily commutes. Despite its modest size, it offers a surprisingly spacious interior for passengers and basic amenities for a comfortable ride.
The Metro’s electrical system, including essential features like lights, wipers, and radio, depends on its fuse box and relay configuration. The main fuse box is located under the dashboard on the driver’s side, where fuses control various low-power functions. Additionally, relays, found near the fuse box and in the engine compartment, handle higher-power operations like the starter motor and fuel pump. Regular inspection of these components helps ensure continued reliability of the car’s basic yet essential electrical features.

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.
