Skoda Fabia III (NJ, 2014-2021) is the third generation of the supermini. It has a fuse panel at the lower driver’s dashboard and another in the engine compartment beside the battery. The detailed source data covers model years 2015, 2016 and 2017, each with a separate 59-position interior fuse chart and 20-position engine fuse chart. Do not apply these listings automatically to facelift cars from 2018-2021.
This guide preserves all 237 rows in six complete tables, including unused positions and differences between three model years. The original two schematic diagrams are included for orientation. Since engine and optional equipment influence the fuse installation, the exact owner’s handbook and the car’s fuse lid take priority.
Skoda Fabia III fuse box locations
In the cabin: the dashboard fuse holder is on the driver’s side behind a small lower cover or access compartment. Stop the engine, open the access flap and release the panel carefully, avoiding damage to the clips. On right-hand-drive cars, access arrangements can be mirrored.
Under the bonnet: the 20-position box is covered beside the battery. Turn off the ignition before opening the cover, use the diagram to locate the numbered slot, and refit the cover tightly after inspection.
Skoda Fabia III 2017 fuse box diagrams and tables
The original drawings show all 59 dashboard positions and 20 numbered engine positions for the typical 2017 setup. Ratings marked “-” were not given uniformly in the source; check the car’s manual and actual fuse.

Most commonly checked Fabia III fuses
Cigarette lighter / 12 V cabin outlet: dashboard position 44 in the three source-year tables. Optional luggage compartment 12 V socket: dashboard position 13. Heated rear window: position 41. Fuel pump: dashboard position 49. Rear windscreen wiper: position 27. Not all cars have every optional circuit.
Some model years use different control-module descriptions at positions 9, 14, 30, 31 and 33, and engine compartment positions 9, 12, 14, 18 or 20. These differences have not been merged away. When the source gives “-” in the rating column, no amperage is assumed.
The older Skoda Fabia I 6Y (1999-2007) has 68 dashboard positions, while the Fabia II 5J (2007-2014) has 58. These layouts are not interchangeable. For another contemporary compact model, see the Skoda Rapid (2017) fuse diagram, which has separate engine and dashboard numbering. For other Skoda models, see the Skoda Citigo (2012) and Skoda Scala (2019-2020).
Skoda Fabia III NJ fuse box FAQ
Where is the cigarette lighter fuse in the Fabia 2017?
Dashboard fuse position 44. Check its actual rating on the fitted cover or manual.
Which fuse protects the optional luggage 12 V outlet?
Dashboard position 13 in the documented 2015-2017 installation.
Are Fabia III 2015 and 2017 fuse boxes the same?
Both use 59 cabin and 20 engine positions, but individual circuit descriptions depend on engine and equipment and are presented separately for each year.
Do these diagrams cover Fabia 2020?
Not without additional verification. This source provides complete year-specific tables for 2015, 2016 and 2017 only.
What fuse rating should I install if the table shows “-“?
Use the exact specification printed in the vehicle’s manual or fuse lid; never guess or replace with a higher amperage.
Always fit the correct type and rating. Repeated failure calls for checking the circuit and the connected electrical device instead of fitting a larger fuse.
