Partly covered: Vauxhall’s February 2023 and September 2023 Corsa handbooks print no fuse chart (a defective fuse must be replaced by a workshop). The chart below is from the July 2022 edition and applies only to cars that came with that handbook.

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.”

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.
Frozen or stuck blades
Blades frozen to the glass, or snow packed below the windscreen, can stall the motor and blow the fuse. Free them before switching on.
Loose wiper arm
If you can hear the motor running but an arm doesn’t move, the nut holding the arm or the linkage may have come loose.
Wiper stalk
If some speeds work and others don’t, the stalk switch is more likely than the fuse.
