Learn about Citroën C4 Picasso II 2013-2018 fuse box and relay’s locations, functions, and maintenance tips for optimal vehicle electrical system.
The Citroën C4 Picasso II (2013-2018) is a versatile MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) available in two body styles: the standard 5-seater and the larger Grand C4 Picasso 7-seater. Both models are known for their futuristic design, spacious interiors, and advanced tech features. The electrical system of the C4 Picasso is essential for powering many of its features, including the infotainment system, climate control, and driver assistance systems.
The fuse box and relay, crucial parts of the car’s electrical components, play a key role in protecting these systems from overloading and short circuits. The main fuse box is located under the dashboard, while a secondary box is situated in the engine compartment. Regular inspection of these fuses and relays is recommended to ensure that all systems, from lighting to power windows, are functioning properly. Diagrams are often included in the vehicle’s manual to assist in identifying and replacing faulty fuses or relays when necessary.

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.
