Partly covered: Vauxhall published August 2015, January 2016 and February 2016 Astra handbooks that could apply to a 2016 car, and their fuse charts differ. Vauxhall doesn’t say which cars each edition applies to, so we can’t tell which one matches a particular 2016 Astra. Every official chart is shown below — check the edition printed near the end of your handbook, or compare with the fuse box legend in your car, before removing anything.

Which 2016 Astra do you have?

The fuse layout differs between versions of the 2016 Vauxhall Astra. Until you choose, the chart for every version is shown.

Not sure which handbook edition you have?
  • Each Vauxhall owner’s manual prints its edition near the end, for example “Edition: September 2014”. If you have your car’s handbook, choose the option with the same edition.
  • Vauxhall doesn’t say which cars each edition applies to, so the date of your car alone can’t tell you. Without the handbook, compare the circuits on each option with the legend on your fuse box before removing anything.

If you can’t confirm it, keep both results in mind and check the fuse box legend before removing anything.

Option A Handbook edition August 2015 or Handbook edition January 2016

Tools that may help

  • Fuse assortment kit

    Spare blade fuses in common ratings, so you can swap a blown one at the roadside.

  • Fuse puller

    Grips small fuses without damaging them. Many fuse boxes have one clipped inside the lid.

  • Digital multimeter

    Confirms whether a fuse or socket actually has power, instead of guessing.
