Nissan Qashqai J10 (2007–2013) fuse box location and fuses
Updated:
The Nissan Qashqai J10 has 2 fuse boxes. The first is here: under the steering wheel on the left, behind the knee panel. Below we show where to find the fuses for the cigarette lighter, ABS, engine control unit, fuel pump, lights and wipers, and what to do if a fuse keeps blowing.
Always verify against the label on the box lid. Fuse layouts change with year and equipment.
Where the fuse boxes are
- 1Under the steering wheel on the left, behind the knee panel
- 2Engine bay, left side next to the battery, in a box with a lid
The diagram shows roughly where the boxes are, not the fuse layout.
The cabin box is under the steering wheel behind a cover.
Common faults and fuses
Cigarette lighter / 12 V socket dead
Look for the socket or cigarette symbol, usually 15–20 A
ABS light on
ABS usually has two fuses: pump (large, 30–60 A) and control unit (5–15 A)
Related fault code: P0500
Engine won't start, dash lights on
The engine control unit (ECU) fuse and main relay are in the engine-bay box
Related fault code: P0606
Fuel pump silent at key-on
Look for the fuel pump symbol, usually 15–25 A, often with a relay
Related fault code: P0230
One headlight or tail light out
Bulb first, then fuse. On many cars a body control module drives the lights and there's no separate fuse
Wipers not working
The wiper fuse is large (20–30 A). If it's fine, the relay or motor is often to blame
How to check a fuse
Switch the ignition off and pull the fuse with the plastic puller. A blown fuse has a broken wire inside. Fit one of the same rating. If the new one blows straight away, there's a short in the wiring that needs diagnosing.
