Peugeot Partner I (2001-2002) – Fuse Box Diagrams and Locations

Peugeot Partner I (2001-2002), the first-generation Partner before the major facelift, has separate protection in the Body Systems Interface (BSI), passenger-compartment fuse carrier and engine compartment fuse box. The corresponding Citroen Berlingo is closely related, but fuse allocation can differ by production period, equipment and market.

These charts cover 80 original reference entries across the quick reference, BSI, cabin fuses, engine fuses and color identification. The original 2001 Peugeot Partner VU owner’s manual specifies 20 A for both F23 and F23B cigarette-lighter alternatives. The rating follows the original manufacturer manual.

Where are the Peugeot Partner 2001-2002 fuse boxes?

Dashboard and BSI: switch off the ignition and all accessories. The main interior fuse carrier and BSI are behind the lower dashboard access trim near the steering column and driver’s footwell. Remove the designated cover to inspect the fuses, then compare their actual markings with the original diagram. Some left- and right-hand-drive vehicles differ in trim access; the BSI should not be disconnected during routine fuse checking.

Engine compartment: open the bonnet, locate the covered fuse and relay carrier near the battery, press the retaining clips and lift the lid. On older cars, check for water intrusion and damaged seals before closing the box again. Main battery links and any high-current terminals require proper isolation procedures, not an improvised wire bridge.

The Partner was revised around 2002-2003. These tables should not be treated as a universal fuse list for the later facelift, Partner II or Rifter. Check the model, market, diesel or petrol engine and the factory cover for the actual car.

Frequently used fuses – quick reference

The positions below are repeated in their full BSI, cabin and engine tables, but are collected here to distinguish similar 12 V outlets and lighting circuits. The amp column can show alternate physical positions rather than a single fuse to be substituted.

Body Systems Interface fuse module – A-F

The BSI controls multiple body circuits, including central locking, power windows and rear demisting. If several of these systems fail together, inspect the BSI’s power and earth connections, not just an individual blade fuse.

Passenger compartment fuse box – F1-F28 and F23B

The cabin carrier contains the headlamps, horn, blower, radio, accessory outlet and wiper controls. F1 is a safety shunt for the front airbag and belt pretensioners, not an ordinary amperage-rated fuse. The factory instructions list several unused slots; no additional fuse should be installed into them without a wiring-specific reason.

12 V socket: F15 (20 A). Cigarette lighter: F23 (20 A) or F23B (20 A), depending on the fitted supply configuration. F11 protects a separate sidelight-related cigarette-lighter illumination circuit. These distinct supplies explain why lighter illumination can work while the socket has no power.

Engine compartment fuse box – all 21 documented entries

Diesel versions have additional heating and injection-related protection, including F22 and F23; petrol versions can use F28 for throttle housing heat instead of the diesel injection pump. The original table includes free positions despite their published slot current rating. No hypothetical engine circuit has been assigned to those positions.

Standard blade-fuse colors

Plastic body color helps identify ordinary blade fuses, but it is not a substitute for reading the printed amp value. These colors do not describe the physical position of a fuse; refer to the box diagram above for the circuit.

Practical diagnosis for Peugeot Partner I

Central locking and tailgate problems: BSI A (20 A). If the fuse is intact, inspect wiring in the door hinge boots and the BSI supply. Front windscreen wipers not working: BSI B (25 A) together with cabin F27 (5 A) switch/control feed.

Rear wiper stopped: BSI D (15 A) and cabin F10 (20 A) are distinct related circuits. Cabin blower failed: F16 (30 A) and its relay; if it only runs on the highest speed, test the resistor and motor before replacing unrelated fuses.

Fuel pump not running: engine F25 (15 A) in the documented configuration. One headlamp failed: cabin F20 left dipped beam and F21 right dipped beam (10 A each); engine F18 right high beam and F19 left high beam (10 A each).

Airbag warning: do not bridge or modify the F1 safety shunt. SRS inspection requires the manufacturer procedure. Older Partners often have aftermarket radios, alarms or trailer wiring; if a fuse continues blowing after replacement, locate the actual short rather than fitting a higher rating.

A later Peugeot based on an entirely different electrical architecture is covered by the Peugeot Rifter K9 fuse guide. Do not transfer its fuse positions to a 2001-2002 Partner.
