Partly covered: the first Mokka X handbook Vauxhall UK publishes is the August 2016 edition. A Mokka X built earlier in 2016 may have an earlier handbook with a different chart — check the edition printed in your handbook, or compare with the fuse box legend in your car, before removing anything.
Where is the fuse box?
Engine compartment fuse box (J-case fuses)

Finding the fuse by number
Full 2016 Vauxhall Mokka fuse chartOption A Mokka
Find it by number
Vauxhall’s handbook picture doesn’t give enough positional detail for us to draw a trustworthy map of the engine compartment fuse box (j-case fuses), so we don’t draw one — we never guess where a fuse sits.
Use the numbers printed on the fuse box, inside its cover or on the fuse box picture in your owner’s manual, and find fuse 11. Check the number before removing anything.
Where to look
- 11
The fuse box is in the engine compartment.
Fuse · Starter
Look for fuse number 11 on the fuse box or its cover — we don’t show positions without verified layout data.
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.
Battery charge
Clicking, slow cranking or dim dash lights usually mean a flat battery, not a fuse.
Battery terminals
Loose or corroded terminals can stop the starter even with a good battery.
Immobiliser
A flashing security light can mean the key isn’t recognised. Try the spare key.
Clutch or gear selector switch
Many cars only crank with the clutch fully pressed, or in Park/Neutral on automatics.
Starter motor or solenoid
A single loud click with good battery voltage often points to the starter itself.
