Opel Astra J (2014-2015), also sold as Vauxhall Astra Mk6, has fuse panels in the engine compartment, on the left side of the dashboard, and, depending on specification, behind the left luggage-compartment trim. The following diagrams document this later Astra J production reference, not every Astra J built from 2009 onward. Hatchback, saloon, Sports Tourer and GTC versions, engines, equipment and markets can have different populated slots.
The three tables preserve all 112 original positions: 54 engine, 26 dashboard and 32 luggage, including unoccupied locations. The source does not provide reliable universal current ratings, so the value “-” is retained instead of assuming an amperage. Three original model-specific diagrams are placed directly before their tables.
Where are the Opel Astra J 2014-2015 fuse boxes?
Engine compartment: with the ignition switched off, open the bonnet and find the covered electrical box at the front left. Release its catches, lift the cover and remove it; refit it tightly to prevent moisture entering. Dashboard: on left-hand-drive cars, open the small storage compartment to the left of the steering wheel, press it gently to the left to disengage the stop, lower and remove it. On right-hand-drive versions the access is through the passenger glovebox. Boot: remove the left-side trim access cover; Sports Tourer bodywork may require moving the side lining first.

Common locations include starter 16, ABS 13 and 30, fuel pump 49, front windscreen wipers 43 and 44, rear wiper 14, horn 47 and electric parking brake 29. Engine fuse 28 is assigned to Start/Stop in this later listing, 31 to adaptive cruise control, 34 to exhaust gas recirculation and 54 to the vacuum pump, instrument cluster and HVAC system.

How did the fuse map change from Astra J 2012-2013?
The Astra J 2012-2013 guide assigns several positions differently. In the 2014-2015 chart the engine fuses 13, 21, 28, 31, 34, 35, 36, 39, 44 and 54 have different occupied functions, including rear electrical distribution, Start/Stop and adaptive cruise control. Some previously unused boot positions also have seat, trailer or camera functions. Do not substitute one model-year chart for another simply because the panels look similar. For the three-door body, consult Astra GTC J (2012), which has a separately documented rear-fuse allocation.
Astra J 2014-2015 fuse box FAQ
Which fuse protects the cigarette lighter?
Dashboard position 6 in this documented chart. Verify the fitted current rating before replacing.
Where are the front and rear wiper fuses?
Front wipers: engine fuses 43 and 44; rear wiper: engine 14.
Which fuse protects the powered tailgate or electric rear seat?
The rear fuse box has an electric rear seat folding supply at 14, while the engine box has tailgate release at 11. Equipment varies by body style.
Can this chart be used for the Astra K?
No. The later Astra K 2016 uses a substantially different installation.
Install only the correct factory fuse rating and type. A repeatedly blown fuse indicates a circuit problem that needs diagnosis.
