Hi Mr_Dave,

I did have a look underneath the glovebox where the footwell light is by removing the three plastic clips but couldnt see any screws for the glovebox. Could you describe how you did that and remove ther side panel, which I presume the latter is just clipped in and need to be carefully prized off the dashboard?

Thanks.

Thanks Mr_Dave

Thanks sniktaw.

I dont suppose you have any diagrams for how to remove the glove compartment to make some more space to access the fuses? I've not attempted the fuse change yet, I'm waiting for a dry day as it's not going to be a five minute job.

I did email Peugeot UK MD Julie David this week for her opinion on how a driver is expected to change a fuse, but their customer service replied the following day saying they couldn't comment on the location of the fuse box and I would need to take it to an authorised dealer.

Excellent, thank you sniktaw

So the F17 fuse has blown which has been replaced and the rear passenger seat power socket now working but the boot power socket still not working. Have got the power socket out of the boot and will get that tested although it looks ok.

Getting the glove box out did make it easier to get to the fuses although getting the white plate unlatched in front of the fuses was a bit of tugging.

Peugeot really don't want car owners to be able to change the fuses of UK cars, very very stupid of them. Knowingly they can earn £££ for what should be a simple change. The passenger seat area should not look like the attached to change a fuse!

Mr Lee, I am sure there would be something to moan about with any brand of car. Just always frustrating when the problem still exists after removing the glovebox to get to the fuse box for what could have been easy to do for the driver if Peugeot had taken the time to think about practicalities. But we are where we are.

I really like my 3008, it's great to drive with the 1.2 engine and auto gearbox, etc, something I presume you don't like your Peugeot seen as your signature refers to the "308 Allure 1.2 purecrap" and will be changing to another brand?

Sorry to hear that Mr Lee. I guess part of the problem is trying to get more environmentally friendly credentials out of engines which looks good on paper.

Despite the manual saying F17 fuse is for the boot power socket the manual is wrong - that is for the rear passenger power socket. In the fuse box in the glove box (atleast on my 2017 GT Line) first there is a white plate holding all sorts of connections, unclip and move this out the way to see two fuse boards one behind each other. The fuse for the boot power socket is on the second board furthest from the white plate front, as indicated by the arrow on the bottom row, I could not see a fuse number. Unlike the rear passenger power being 10 amp fuse, the boot is a 15 amp fuse.

All working now, thanks for help on this forum.

On a UK car it's behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Not easy to get to and in my opinion certainly not designed for the British owners to easily change a fuse. I had to take out the whole glove box. There are two fuse boards, on behind the other, behind the glove box.

How did you get the white plastic panel away from the fuse panel behind it?

Its been a while but I think it just unclipped - see the comments in the thread on 10 June 2021
