Partly covered: Vauxhall published August 2018, January 2019 and October 2019 Astra handbooks that could apply to a 2019 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 2019 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.
Where is the fuse box?

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.

Identify fuse 1 using the fuse numbers and picture in your owner’s manual — we don’t show positions without verified layout data.
The map shows where each fuse sits. Always confirm the number against the legend on the fuse box cover before pulling anything.

How to replace the fuse safely
- Switch off the ignition and all electrical equipment. Take the key out, or move a keyless fob away from the car.
- Open the fuse box and find the fuse using the number on the cover legend or the chart on this page.
- Pull the fuse straight out with the plastic fuse puller (usually clipped inside the fuse box) or fine-nose pliers.
- Look at the metal strip inside the fuse. A broken or burnt strip means it has blown.
- Fit a new fuse with exactly the same amperage rating. The number on top and the colour should match.
- 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.
