Which 2019 Astra do you have?

The fuel pump fuse differs between versions of the 2019 Vauxhall Astra. Until you choose, every possible result 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.

Vauxhall’s handbook doesn’t print fuse ratings, so none is shown. Fit a replacement with the same rating as the fuse you remove — the handbook says: “Data on the replacement fuse must match the data on the defective fuse.”

  1. Disengage the cover and remove it.
  2. After having changed defective fuses, close the fuse box cover and press until it engages.

Find it by its handbook number

Vauxhall’s handbook lists these as fuses near the vehicle battery, separate from the fuse boxes. Its picture of them doesn’t give enough positional detail for a trustworthy map, so we don’t draw one.

Use the fuse numbers and the picture of this area in your owner’s manual to identify fuse 1, and check it against the handbook before removing anything.

How to replace the fuse safely

  1. Switch off the ignition and all electrical equipment. Take the key out, or move a keyless fob away from the car.
  2. Open the fuse box and find the fuse using the number on the cover legend or the chart on this page.
  3. Pull the fuse straight out with the plastic fuse puller (usually clipped inside the fuse box) or fine-nose pliers.
  4. Look at the metal strip inside the fuse. A broken or burnt strip means it has blown.
  5. Fit a new fuse with exactly the same amperage rating. The number on top and the colour should match.
  6. Refit the cover, switch on and test the component.
  • Never fit a fuse with a higher amperage rating than specified. It can let wiring overheat.
  • Never bridge a fuse with wire, foil or anything else.

Fuse keeps blowing?

A fuse that blows again straight away is doing its job. Something on that circuit is drawing too much current. Common causes are damaged wiring shorting to the bodywork, a failing motor or socket, water getting in, or a faulty accessory. Fitting fuse after fuse, or a bigger fuse, won’t fix the fault and can overheat the wiring. Have the circuit tested by an auto electrician.

Not the fuse? Check these next.

  • Fuel cut-off switch

    Many cars cut the fuel pump after a jolt or impact. Your handbook will show if there is a reset switch.

  • Listen for the pump

    Turn the ignition on and listen for a short hum from under the rear seat. Silence suggests a power or pump fault.

  • Fuel level

    A faulty fuel gauge can hide an empty tank. Add a few litres before going further.

  • Fault codes

    An OBD scanner can show stored codes for fuel pressure or pump circuit faults.
