The Peugeot 406 electrical distribution for DAM/ORGA 7136-7323 (with the 7510 qualifier in the original factory-reference title) differs from the earliest VIN 80000001-DAM 7135 configuration. This guide covers 55 separate fuse and shunt positions across BF00, BF01 and the Maxi carrier. Individual engine and optional-equipment variants can affect the exact circuits, so the factory cover and VIN-specific documents take precedence.
What do the Peugeot 406 DAM and ORGA numbers mean?
DAM/ORGA is the manufacturer’s production code, not necessarily the year shown on the registration document. Locate the code on the original Peugeot vehicle identification label or retrieve it from VIN-based service information. The ranges used in these documents correspond to specific electrical build arrangements. A visual comparison of the fitted fascia and under-bonnet panel is essential, particularly if a replacement harness or electrical box has been installed over the years.
Peugeot 406 fuse box locations and access
Passenger compartment BF00: Turn off the ignition. On a left-hand-drive vehicle, look under the lower dashboard beside the steering column. Depending on trim, undo the panel’s retaining catches or quarter-turn fasteners and tilt the cover to access the 30-fuse board. The fuse puller is typically stored in the cover. Verify the position numbers on the installed board, not on another model-year legend.
Engine compartment BF01: Open the bonnet and find the covered electrical distribution box near the battery. Unclip its cover carefully. The smaller F1-F15 fuses protect fuel supply, injection, ABS, lighting and optional equipment.
Maxi high-current carrier: The MF1-MF8 power links are mounted with the engine compartment power distribution, potentially in multiple associated blocks. They protect the ignition supply, dashboard feeder, ABS, engine cooling and heated rear screen. Large links require appropriate electrical service procedures; do not fit a higher rating to prevent a fuse from blowing.
BF00 – 30-position passenger-compartment fuse box
F8 is a supply shunt, not a normal replaceable fuse blade. The BF00 source includes F1 and F1A (10 A each), and also separate F16 and F16A (10 A each) for different radio feeds. The later-era 406 source from DAM 7876 assigns some functions differently. On this panel F20 protects the left dipped headlamp at 10 A, while F23 is unused. The first illustration is a first-generation BF00 carrier layout reference; the specific ratings below are for this DAM range, not a universal fuse list for every Peugeot 406.

BF01 – under-bonnet fuses F1-F15

F3 provides 20 A for ABS while F5 at 15 A protects components that can include XUD9BTF, XU10J2CTE and XUD11BTE systems or the ES9J4 oxygen-sensor circuit. Position F10 (10 A) protects the fuel pump after its inertia safety switch. This diagram shows the relevant BF01 carrier layout; circuit assignment follows the separate DAM-specific table.

Maxi fuse links MF1-MF8
The factory-style high-current group contains eight numbered MF positions. MF1-MF5 are 50 A in this early type; MF8 is 40 A for rear-window heating. The source has broken line wrapping at MF6 and MF7, showing separate 20 and 40 A figures. These are 20 / 40 A alternative cooling-fan ratings at the same two positions, not four separate fuses. Use the vehicle’s factory cooling-system specification. The diagrams show associated first-generation high-current carrier modules.
| Pozycja | Amperaż [A] | Chroniony obwód / funkcja |
|---|---|---|
| MF1 | 50 | Steering column / ignition-lock main power supply |
| MF2 | 50 | Steering column / ignition-lock additional positive supply |
| MF3 | 50 | Power feed for the 30-fuse BF00 passenger-compartment electrical panel |
| MF4 | 50 | Lighting/signalling switches and horn relay main circuit |
| MF5 | 50 | ABS and traction control main high-current supply |
| MF6 | 20 / 40 | Cooling-fan supply, 20 A or 40 A depending on factory single-/dual-fan installation |
| MF7 | 20 / 40 | Second radiator cooling-fan supply, 20 A or 40 A for the relevant cooling system |
| MF8 | 40 | Heated rear windscreen main supply |
Important differences between DAM and engine specifications
Compared with the VIN 80000001-DAM 7135 panel, this BF00 uses F2 and F3 at 10 A, F4 at 5 A and F5 at 10 A; F6 becomes a 15 A automatic transmission circuit where equipped, and F17 can be a 20 A central-locking supply. The BF01 engine box leaves F1 and F2 empty and assigns F3 at 20 A to ABS, rather than using the early F1 engine control and F3 25 A configurations. Do not insert a fuse just because a similarly numbered socket was occupied on the earlier 406.
Manual or automatic gearbox, ABS/traction control, powered and memory seats, air conditioning, estate rear wiper, petrol injection or diesel engine controls affect the installed circuit. MF6 and MF7 change according to fan assembly specification. The same fuse position number can correspond to a different current rating in the neighboring DAM range, so confirm the exact vehicle before installing an electrical replacement.
Fault diagnosis using the correct fuse board
Cigarette lighter: BF00 F1 (10 A), with the relevant F1A auxiliary supply. Fuel pump: BF01 F10 (10 A). Wipers: BF00 F24 (30 A). Cabin heating / A/C: BF00 F21 (10 A) is a control feed, whereas BF01 F4 (20 A) serves engine-running heated-seat/demister/heating circuits. Left dipped beam: BF00 F20 (10 A). The right-side light assignment must be read from the vehicle’s matching lamp and fuse diagram rather than borrowed from the older F23 circuit.
Cooling fan does not start: Inspect Maxi MF6/MF7 only after verifying whether the vehicle uses the 20 A or 40 A fan supply design, then check fan relays, coolant temperature equipment and motor wiring. Heated rear glass fails: Maxi MF8 (40 A) supplies the heating circuit. An intact fuse does not rule out a broken heating element or corroded wiring.
