Skoda Rapid (2015) has a fuse holder beneath the driver’s dashboard and a separate fuse distribution unit in the engine compartment near the battery. The exact circuits depend on petrol or diesel engine, gearbox, optional Start/Stop and factory equipment. These are year-specific 2015 tables, not an instruction to use the same fuse number on every Rapid or Rapid Spaceback.
This English article reproduces all 64 rows in two complete source tables and the two original Skoda diagrams. The Polish reference contains circuit positions but does not supply universal ampere ratings; those remain unspecified. Use the exact owner’s handbook and physical fuse-panel label for the car.
Where is the Skoda Rapid 2015 fuse box?
Inside the car: remove the cover beneath the steering wheel on the driver’s side of the dashboard. Left- and right-hand-drive diagrams are shown. In the engine compartment: inspect the power distribution/fuse holder near or above the 12 V battery. Switch the ignition off, check the actual fuse-box form and refit covers correctly. High-current battery protection should be handled by a qualified technician.
Skoda Rapid 2015 cabin fuses, positions 1-58
In the documented 2015 dashboard panel, cigarette lighter: 47, rear windscreen wiper: 26, front wipers: 44 and 53, rear window heater: 42, horn: 43, and fuel pump/management: 20 and 30-34 depending on the petrol or diesel engine. Not all listed optional consumers are present in every car.
All 58 numbered interior slots are retained, including unused positions and controls specific to the 2015 production reference.

Skoda Rapid 2015 engine compartment fuse layout
The 2015 reference still has a 58-position cabin panel, but the second engine table lists six fuse positions (1-6), serving ABS/ESC, radiator fan, automatic transmission, central electronics and auxiliary heater. This is not the 13-position battery-top fuse chart from 2014; its positions must not be copied from the earlier layout. Cabin positions 25 and 27 become populated with lighting/steering controls, and 36, 47 and 57-58 have changed descriptions.
| Position | Rating [A] | Protected circuit / function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | – | ABS or ESC main supply |
| 2 | – | Radiator cooling fan |
| 3 | – | Automatic transmission |
| 4 | – | Additional ABS/ESC supply |
| 5 | – | Central electronic control module |
| 6 | – | Electric supplementary heater |
What changed in the 2015 Rapid fuse assignments?
The Rapid 2014 has a larger, alternative battery-top chart, while the Rapid 2016 uses a different 59-position cabin layout. In 2015 the documented cigarette lighter is at cabin 47; in 2016 the documented number is 44. Never combine the different fuse-box numbers.
Rapid 2015: cigarette lighter, front/rear wipers and ABS
For a dead 12 V socket or cigarette lighter, check cabin position 47 in the 2015 chart and inspect the socket for a short circuit. If the rear wiper stops, check cabin position 26 and the tailgate wiring; front wiper protection is documented at positions 44 and 53 for different parts of the system. ABS control and high-current engine-bay power are not interchangeable even where an ABS label appears in both units.
For a later model year see the Skoda Rapid 2017 and its separate Spaceback hatchback reference. The Skoda Fabia II shares some components but must not be used as a substitute fuse chart.
Skoda Rapid 2015 fuse box FAQ
Which fuse protects the cigarette lighter?
Dashboard fuse 47 in the 2015 source; the current rating must be verified on the car.
Where is the rear window wiper fuse?
Dashboard position 26.
How many cabin fuse positions are there?
There are 58 numbered dashboard positions in this documented layout, but not all contain an installed fuse.
Is the 2016 Rapid fuse table identical?
No. The later source lists 59 cabin positions, a different engine box and cigarette lighter at position 44.
Can a larger fuse be fitted if one repeatedly blows?
No. Use the manufacturer-specified ampere rating and diagnose the electrical fault instead of bypassing protection.
