Renault Sandero Stepway: where the fuses are. Fuse box under the car torpedo
The design and its features are determined by the purpose of the assembly and are strictly defined during the design process. Where are they located? The power supply unit on the left side of the dashboard is located near the handle, fixing the hood cover. If you need to inspect the parts, you will have to remove the plastic decor in the form of inserts.
- Light signaling systems;
- Security complex;
- Power supply for the electrical appliances unit;
- ECU power systems for the motor control unit;
- Stove and cigarette lighter cable;
- Relay coils and electric drives.
For Renault Sandero circuits, including for the Stepway version with low amperage, there is no need to use complex fuses. The fusible element is more functional and fully justifies its use. For the most powerful sources of energy consumption, stove coolers and engine cooling, the connection of powerful relay terminals is used.

Finding a short circuit
One of the methods for finding a short circuit is to remove the fuse and connect a probe lamp or voltmeter instead.
There must be no voltage in the circuit. Tug the wiring while observing the probe lamp.
If the lamp starts blinking, then this wiring harness has a short to ground, possibly caused by chafing of the wire insulation.
A similar check can be carried out for each of the components of the electrical circuit by turning on the appropriate switches.
Checking the reliability of contact with ground. Disconnect the battery and connect one of the self-powered probe lamp leads to a known good ground, the other lamp lead Connect to the tested harness or connector terminal. If the lamp lights up, ground contact is OK (and vice versa).
Check for breakage
Compliance is checked to detect open circuits.
After disconnecting power to the loop, test it with a self-powered probe lamp.
Connect the probe leads to both ends of the circuit. If the control lamp lights up, there is an open circuit in the circuit, if the lamp does not light up, then this indicates the presence of an open circuit in the circuit.
Similarly, you can check the serviceability of the switch by connecting the probe to its contacts. When the switch is turned ON, the probe lamp should light up.
Localization of the cliff
When diagnosing a suspect in the presence of an open circuit in the electrical circuit, it is quite difficult to visually detect the cause of the malfunction, since it is difficult to visually check the terminals for corrosion or a violation of the quality of their contacts due to limited access to them (usually the terminals are covered by the contact connector housing).
Sharp twitching of the housing of the wiring harness block on the sensor or the wiring harness itself in many cases leads to the restoration of contact.
Do not forget about this when trying to localize the reason for the suspect’s failure in the presence of an open circuit.
Unstable failures can be due to oxidation of the Terminals or poor contact quality.
Diagnostics of faults in electrical circuits is NOT a difficult task, provided it is clearly understood that electric current flows to all consumers (lamp, electric motor, etc.) from the battery through wires through switches, relays, fuses, fuses, and then returns to the battery through the mass (body) of the car.
Any problems associated with electrical equipment failure can be caused by the loss of electrical current from the battery or by the return of current to the battery.
Replacement
Before starting the replacement work, check the malfunction of the part using the device. When removing the jumpers, it is necessary to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery terminals. Before installing new elements, it is required to correctly determine and eliminate the cause of the malfunction.
To remove a small jumper, you will need the help of a tweezers-puller located on the cover of the cabin assembly and having special ends. The large guards can be easily removed with your fingers. In the event of a snug fit and difficulty in removal, a gentle pry with a thin-slotted screwdriver is allowed.
It is easy to check the block in the engine compartment by pulling the cover lock. After removing the cover, the defective element is sometimes visually visible. break of the fusible link. Torpedo safety fuse box is accessible by prying the cover to disengage from the latch.

Fuses and relays in a car have important functions. So the fuses prevent the electric circuit from burning out, in case of high current, by means of the fact that they burn out themselves. The relays switch high currents in the protective casing of the switchboard, which also significantly reduces the likelihood of fire. The relays themselves are only controlled by switches and switches, which control small currents. Fuses and relays are located on Renault Logan in two places, in the engine compartment and in the passenger compartment. It is in the location, purpose, rated characteristics (current) of relays and fuses that we will tell in our article.
Salon flap
A car like the Renault Sandero Stepway, for obvious reasons, houses a wide variety of electronic systems. In this regard, the manufacturer quite logically divided the general scheme into two blocks.
The first of them is located directly in the passenger compartment and includes replaceable elements responsible for all electronics, which does not apply to the operation of the engine, gearbox and ignition system.
In order not to have to “wander” for a long time in search of the desired circuit, we will give the main list of fuses in the Renault cabin block and describe their purpose
So, who turned their attention to the cell under the index 1, you can easily find the element responsible for the proper operation of the Renault Sandero Stepway front wipers. Slightly lower, in the second position, it is easy to find the cause of the malfunction of the dashboard
The reason for the malfunction of the Renault Sandero Stepway outdoor lighting should also be looked for in the cabin dashboard. If the low beam bulb is faulty, but replacing it with a new one did not give convincing results, there is a good reason to replace the fuse at 9 or 10 positions. High beam problems can be solved by a close look at cells 11 and 12.
Relays and fuses Renault Stepway after 2014
Actually, in this case, one could refer to the article that we already have on our website about Renault Logan. But since we also have this thematic article about Renault Stepway, we will provide information about it, simply by borrowing information.
In the engine compartment
The mounting block is located on the left, under the cover. In order to remove the cover, bend the clips and lift it up.
You will see approximately the following picture.
Immobilizer, passenger compartment fuse supply circuit F28-F31
Passenger compartment fuse supply F11, F23-F27, F34 and F39
Also, some of the fuses and relays are located in the passenger compartment on the instrument panel. They are installed from the end on the left. When removing the cover, you will see the following.
It only remains to bring the PDF file. It’s the same there, but you can download it and use it as a guide when checking and replacing fuses on the car.
The electrical equipment connected to the on-board power supply of the popular Renault Sandero car is protected by two sets of fuses. The first is located under the dashboard. The other is stationary under the hood. Its exact location. Battery. Namely, fusible jumpers are designed to ensure the protection of electrical wiring when the current strength rises above the permissible values. In this article, we will figure out in detail where the fuses themselves are located and how they need to be replaced correctly, although in this case, a circuit will come to the aid of many.
Each safety element on Renault Sandero and in the Stepway version is responsible for protecting a strictly defined power and additional electrical circuit. An increase in the amperage leads to its burnout, which in turn protects the wiring and equipment of the machine from failure.
Melting of the jumpers is a result of a short circuit and indicates a specific point of the open circuit. In order to prevent potential fires of the car or the occurrence of more serious breakdowns on Renault Sandero, and on the Stepway version, it is necessary to correctly select the location of the jumpers.
Summing up, we can conclude that if any system in the car stopped working, the first thing to do is check the fuses, since there is a high probability that the problem is in it.
The cigarette lighter, on a Renault Sandero passenger car, is located on the front console; here is the gear lever. Drivers use the cigarette lighter socket, both for its intended purpose and as a socket for connecting additional devices, which, in most cases, leads to its failure.
The main malfunction of the cigarette lighter itself is considered to be the burnout of the incandescent plates, due to which the electrical circuit breaks when it is turned on, as a result of which the plates stop heating. In this case, the cigarette lighter must be replaced. The second malfunction is associated with the fact that the cigarette lighter ceases to be fixed in the socket after pressing its handle. This is due to the extension of the antennae of the central contact. You can eliminate this malfunction using a flat screwdriver by returning the antennae to their original position, only this must be done with the ignition off so that a short circuit does not occur inside the socket.
When using the cigarette lighter socket as a socket for connecting additional devices the driver should remember that you need to properly insert a plug into this jack, otherwise it may cause a short circuit, which will cause a blown fuse F38. It is located in the mounting block of the car interior from the left end of the front panel. Access to it is possible only after opening the driver’s door. This fuse also protects the electrical circuit of the car radio, therefore, the symbol on the cover of the mounting block, which helps to find the exact location of this fuse, will be in the form of a note.
The fuse F38 may also blow out due to the fact that a device is connected to the cigarette lighter socket or several devices are connected through a splitter, as a result of which the current in this electrical circuit becomes greater than the fuse rating, from which it will definitely burn out.
In addition, there are times when not only fuse F38 burns out, but a specially installed washer on the back of the positive contact of the cigarette lighter socket. It is designed to protect the socket from overheating and fire, wires suitable for it. If this malfunction occurs, you will have to replace Not only the fuse F38, but also the cigarette lighter socket itself.
The start of sales for Renault Stepway was in 2008, when the manufacturer decided on the basis of the then popular Renault Logan to create a car with a hatchback body. In fact, Logan remained Logan, at least in most of his design decisions, as for the suspension, body, and also the electrical circuit of the car. That is why Renault Stepway can be fully correlated by the location and purpose of fuses and relays, comparing it with Renault Logan.
The only thing is that there was a significant transformation in the model in 2014, when the relay and fuse boxes began to look different, which means that the location of specific fuses became the second. Well, now in that where are and what are the fuses and relays responsible for Renault Stepway until 2014 and after.
