Learn about Daewoo Espero fuse box and relay’s locations, functions, and maintenance tips for optimal vehicle electrical system.
The Daewoo Espero, produced from 1990 to 1997, is a midsize sedan that combines European design with Korean engineering. Its body style is a traditional four-door sedan, offering ample space for passengers and a comfortable ride. Designed by Bertone, the Espero features smooth, rounded lines and a practical, aerodynamic shape.
The electrical system of the Daewoo Espero plays a key role in powering its modern features for the time, such as power windows, central locking, and an electronic climate control system. The car’s fuse box, located under the dashboard on the driver’s side, protects various electrical circuits from overload. Relays, situated in both the engine bay and near the fuse box, manage higher-power functions like the fuel pump, headlights, and starter motor. Understanding the layout of the fuse box and relay system is essential for troubleshooting electrical issues and maintaining the reliability of the vehicle’s critical systems.

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.
