Honda Civic VII (2001-2005) – Fuse Box and Relay Diagrams

Honda Civic VII (2001-2005) was sold as a hatchback, saloon, coupe and, in selected markets, a Civic Hybrid. Fuse numbers and amp ratings can differ among these versions, notably in the interior wiper, headlights, rear window demister and Hybrid electric power steering circuits. The diagrams below reproduce the documented equipment variants instead of claiming one fuse card fits every car.

The three complete tables preserve all 78 original reference entries, including repeated numbered slots for alternative ratings, unused positions, relay sockets and the supplementary Hybrid relay block. The original nine illustrations are retained. Honda’s 2001 sedan owner’s manual is used to cross-check standard sedan ratings; the hatchback and Hybrid variations require their respective fuse cards.

Where are the fuse boxes in a Honda Civic VII?

Passenger compartment: turn off the ignition and electrical consumers. Locate the interior fuse panel beneath the steering column at the lower dashboard. On the 2001 Honda sedan, release the lower panel retaining fasteners to expose the fuse carrier; the original label shows positions 1-25. In right-hand-drive cars, trim and neighbouring control modules can be arranged differently. Do not disturb any yellow SRS airbag connectors.

Engine compartment: open the bonnet and locate the black fuse/relay box near the battery. The original US 2001 sedan manual describes the housing on the passenger side of the engine bay. On another market or engine configuration, identify the housing by its installed cover and layout, not by assuming its position relative to a left-hand-drive car. Release the plastic clips with the ignition off and the radiator fan stopped. High-current bolted fuses require the appropriate isolation procedure.

Passenger compartment fuse box – 35 entries including variants and relays

Interior position 18 (15 A) feeds the accessory 12 V socket. Position 17 (15 A) serves the fuel pump and injection supply. The front wiper is position 20, rated 20 A on the 2001 sedan, but the retained hatchback fuse card specifies a separate 30 A version. Position 9 also differs for Hybrid engine ignition versus non-Hybrid body equipment.

Important ambiguous record: one old source row for position 15 contains “2)”, which is not a valid fuse amp rating. It is kept in the table as a variant with unspecified rating rather than misrepresented as a 2 A fuse. Honda’s standard 2001 sedan handbook lists position 15 as unused; another equipment layout lists a 10 A security controller. Read the fuse legend of the exact car.

Hatchback, saloon and coupe control module differences

The hatchback may have separate Daytime Running Lights controllers, rear wiper circuits and multiplex modules. The saloon and coupe place some keyless receiver, fuel-pump relay and lighting controllers differently. The following drawings show module locations by body style, not three interchangeable fuse cards.

Under-bonnet fuse and relay carrier – 40 documented entries

The engine carrier protects condenser and radiator fans, ignition, PGM-FI engine electronics, ABS, headlights, horn, brake lights and the heated rear window. The 2001 Honda sedan handbook confirms F7 (15 A) for horn and stop lamps, F12 (40 A) for the heater blower, and F13 (40 A) for the power windows.

Variants are explicit in the table: F11 can be 30 A or 40 A according to body, while F15 and F17 headlamp supplies may be 15 A or 20 A. F18 is unused in the standard 2001 sedan but used as a 60 A EPS supply in the documented Hybrid. Positions 21-25 are spare-fuse storage locations in the original 2001 manual, not active working circuits.

Civic Hybrid – separate under-bonnet relay block

A Civic Hybrid equipped with the additional block has fuse position 60 (20 A) for an auxiliary cooling fan and two relay positions R1 and R2 for hot restart and PGM-FI control. The relay numbering applies to this separate Hybrid holder; it does not identify the main under-hood box’s R1/R2.

The hybrid high-voltage system is not serviced through these normal 12 V fuse charts. Never touch orange high-voltage harnesses or remove traction-battery parts without Honda’s specialised safety procedures.

Supplementary hatchback, saloon and coupe electronics

Some roof, remote-control and rear-wiper functions are in separate control modules rather than another conventional fuse carrier. Match the hatchback or saloon/coupe drawing to the vehicle body before tracing connector pins or relay positions.

Common Honda Civic VII electrical symptoms

12 V socket dead: check interior fuse 18 (15 A) and the socket contacts. Front wipers inoperative: check interior position 20, using 20 A for the factory sedan card or 30 A for the documented hatchback variant. A good fuse does not exclude a wiper motor, linkage or switch failure.

Power windows failed: the main under-bonnet F13 (40 A) supplies the system; passenger compartment F22-F25 (20 A each) protect individual window motors where equipped. When only one door is affected, inspect its switch and wiring through the hinge gaiter.

Rear window heating not working: under-hood F11 is 30 A in the original 2001 sedan arrangement, with a separate 40 A coupe variant in the preserved source. Horn and stop lamps fail: engine F7 (15 A), while relay R6 is associated with the horn alone.

Cabin blower stopped: engine F12 (40 A), then the blower and resistor. Hybrid steering warning: F18 (60 A) in the corresponding Hybrid carrier and appropriate diagnostic procedures, not the standard sedan’s empty position.
