The fourth-generation Mitsubishi L200, also sold as Triton (2005-2015), has two main fuse boxes, one inside the driver’s cabin and another in the engine compartment. The full tables below retain all 29 cabin positions and all 18 under-bonnet positions as documented for the European 2011 model year. The installed equipment varies with engine, cab, market and optional features, so use the legend on the actual fuse-box cover to confirm the correct arrangement.
Where are the L200 fuse boxes and how do you open them?
Passenger compartment: Turn off the ignition, open the driver’s door and find the plastic fuse lid in the lower dashboard in front of the driver’s seat. Release its catch and compare the fuse position with the diagram. Right-hand-drive models have an alternative panel arrangement shown in the owner’s handbook.
Engine compartment: With the ignition off, open the bonnet and locate the plastic fuse box. Press the retaining tab and lift off the lid to see positions 1-18. The protection ratings and circuit symbols are reproduced on the inside of the cover. Refit both lids to prevent dirt and moisture entering the fuse carriers.
Passenger compartment fuse box – positions 1-29
Positions 27-29 are spare fuses stored on the lid, not working supply circuits. Other positions such as sunroof, heated seats and powered seats may be vacant if the associated equipment was not installed.

Engine compartment fuse box – positions 1-18
The engine-bay panel protects ignition, windows, headlamps, cooling, engine management, the fuel pump and optional audio equipment. Left and right headlamp circuits use independent fuses.

Spare fuses and optional equipment
Not every vehicle has the sunroof, powered seats, heated seats, rear wiper or amplifier shown in the tables. A vacant socket does not necessarily indicate a fault. Importantly, cabin position 24 (40 A) is for an electrically adjustable seat, not an accessory socket. The spare fuses are position 27 (7.5 A), position 28 (20 A) and position 29 (30 A).
Which fuse should you check when something stops working?
12 V power: The cigarette lighter uses cabin fuse 2 (15 A), while the additional accessory outlet is protected separately by cabin fuse 6 (15 A). Check the socket contacts if the correct fuse is intact.
Wipers, radio and power seats: Front wipers use cabin fuse 20 (20 A); the radio uses position 25 (10 A). If a powered seat is fitted and is not moving, check cabin position 24 (40 A) and its electrical connectors.
Lighting, starting and fuel supply: The left and right dipped beams use engine-bay positions 8 and 9 (10 A each). The fuel pump uses under-bonnet fuse 16 (15 A), and the horn uses position 13 (10 A). A fuse that repeatedly blows indicates a wiring or component problem, not a need for a higher rating.
Other Mitsubishi fuse layouts
The Mitsubishi Pajero IV / Shogun (2006-2015) was produced in a similar period but uses a different distribution system, including a third high-current fuse box. Its position numbering does not apply to the L200.
