Fuses

On the Peugeot 308, the handbook does not ask you to change fuses yourself. Fuse work and any extra electrical equipment should be handled by a professional.

  • Changing a fuse: all work must be carried out only by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
  • Risk of DIY replacement: if a third party replaces a fuse, it could cause a serious malfunction of the car.
  • Installing electrical accessories: the car's electrical system is designed to work with standard or optional equipment. Before you fit any other electrical equipment or accessories, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
  • Repair costs: PEUGEOT accepts no responsibility for repair costs or for fixing malfunctions caused by accessories that PEUGEOT has not supplied or recommended, or that were not installed according to its recommendations.
  • Power consumption limit: this applies in particular when the combined power consumption of all the additional equipment connected exceeds 10 milliamperes.

If you suspect a fuse problem, take your 308 to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
