The first-generation Peugeot 208 A9 (2012-2019) uses two separate dashboard fuse boxes and an engine-compartment BSM carrier. Peugeot owner handbooks list a different set of user-replaceable positions in each: the left dashboard F2-F30, right dashboard F01-F12, and engine F16-F30. The tables below contain 51 original fuse, relay and reference entries, including 33 detailed fuse rows, 13 commonly requested circuits and five relay/module descriptions. They preserve empty slots, the later diesel F17* option and the distinction between early and later heated-seat equipment.
How to access the Peugeot 208 fuse boxes
Left dashboard: With ignition off, find the lower fascia cover to the left of the steering column on a left-hand-drive 208. Unclip it from its upper edge and lower the panel. Peugeot stores a fuse puller with the tools behind the glovebox cover. This board contains the cigarette lighter/12 V feed, radio, display, horn, washers, A/C compressor and rear wiper.
Right dashboard: Open the glovebox, carefully release the upper-right edge of the fuse access cover and remove it to reach the separate F01-F12 carrier. It protects the rear window heater, heated/folding exterior mirrors, front/rear one-touch windows, heated seats and optional amplifier. The right carrier’s F09 is physically different from F9 in the left carrier.
Engine compartment: Open the bonnet and locate the covered BSM fuse and relay carrier next to the battery. Release its lid clips; compare the installed fuses with the drawing and close the cover securely after inspection to maintain weather protection. Relay elements inside a BSM may not be independently replaceable. For right-hand-drive vehicles follow the corresponding trim-access instructions in the matching handbook.
Important year and equipment variations
Early 2012 Peugeot 208 documentation has a right cabin F09 position described as unused in some configurations. In later handbooks that position is F09 15 A for optional heated front seats. The correct value is determined by the vehicle’s actual equipment, not a missing fuse on a different car. The standard engine F16 15 A protects front foglamps in the manufacturer guide. The Polish source also records an additional F17* 10 A supply on some later diesel BFRM/BSI variants, including engine management and NOx circuits; it must not be added to a car lacking that wiring.
Models registered in 2019 may belong to either the final 208 A9 production or the newer 208 II. Their electrical systems differ. The diagrams reproduce the original shared PSA architecture of this 208 A9-era layout and should be matched to the physical board.

Each row repeats the technical listings that follow. Note that dashboard F29 15 A relates to air conditioning, while engine F29 40 A is the front wiper supply. Likewise, dashboard F30 is the rear wiper, while engine F30 is an 80 A diesel preheater circuit.

Relay controls integrated into BSI and BSM
The Polish source identifies five relay/control functions, preserved below. R1-R5 are short editorial reference labels, not official Peugeot relay socket numbers. The headlamp-washer relay is associated with optional engine F25, lighting and wiper relays can be integrated into the BSM, and interior equipment is controlled by the BSI. Individual modules must be diagnosed using the matching board revision rather than assumed to be removable plug-in relays.
| Pozycja | Amperaż [A] | Chroniony obwód / funkcja |
|---|---|---|
| R1 | – | Headlamp-washer relay in engine compartment, powered by F25 30 A when that optional circuit exists |
| R2 | – | Lighting and front-wiper relays integrated into the BSM engine electrical carrier; serviceability depends on the fitted BSM revision |
| R3 | – | Interior equipment relay functions integrated into or commanded by the BSI body controller |
| R4 | – | Air-conditioning compressor switching commanded by BSI and BSM according to engine and HVAC configuration |
| R5 | – | Diesel glow-plug relay or separate preheating controller, engine-compartment system |
Common electrical faults and their supplies
Front cigarette lighter or 12 V socket dead: Left dashboard F16 15 A. Inspect overheated socket contacts and any metal debris in the socket. Radio silent: Left F17 15 A and the stereo wiring. Touchscreen blank: Left F18 20 A, separate from the radio’s supply. Horn silent: Left F26 15 A, then the horn switch and sounder.
Washer pump not running: Left F27 15 A, followed by the pump and reservoir wiring. Rear wiper stopped: Left F30 15 A and wiring at the hatch hinge. Front wipers do not work: Engine F29 40 A and BSM-controlled motor supply. One high beam out: Engine F18 10 A on the right, F19 10 A on the left. Heated rear window dead: Right F01 40 A and glass terminals. Diesel hard to start in cold weather: Engine F30 80 A, glow plug controller and vehicle battery.
Heated front seats inoperative: Check right F09 15 A only where the car is equipped with factory heated seats. If a correctly rated fuse blows again, do not increase the amperage; inspect the protected electrical circuit for a short or a defective consumer.

The Peugeot 2008 I (2013-2019) uses related fuse carrier designs but differs by body equipment and production revisions. The Peugeot 208 II (2019-2021) is a new generation. The earlier Peugeot 207 facelift also has different fuse allocations.
