Peugeot/Citroën Fuse Box – Problems and Repair Solutions
The fuse box, also known as the BSI (Built-in Systems Interface), is a critical electrical component in many Peugeot and Citroën vehicles. It manages and distributes power to a wide range of systems, from lighting and wipers to starting functions. When the fuse box develops a fault, it can cause frustrating and sometimes disabling issues. The most common symptoms include wipers not working, non-start conditions, and various light problems, all of which can point to an underlying BSI failure that requires professional repair.
Common Faults:
Wipers not working
Non start
Various light problems
Common Peugeot & Citroën Fuse Box (BSI) Faults and Symptoms
The fuse box, also referred to as the BSI (Built-in Systems Interface), is a key component in Peugeot and Citroën vehicles. It controls and distributes power to many of the vehicle’s essential electrical systems, including lighting, wipers, central locking, and starting. Unfortunately, these units are well known for developing faults that can lead to a variety of electrical problems. Below are the most common symptoms that point to a failing BSI/fuse box:
1. Wipers Not Working
A common sign of fuse box failure is the front wipers failing to operate correctly. In some cases, they may stop working altogether, while in others they may function intermittently. This is usually caused by internal faults in the BSI preventing the correct signals from reaching the wiper motor.
2. Non-Start Condition
Another widespread issue is the vehicle failing to start due to the BSI not communicating properly with the immobiliser system. Drivers may find that the ignition powers up, but the engine will not crank or start. This fault often traces back to internal communication failures within the fuse box.
3. Various Light Problems
The fuse box also manages many of the vehicle’s lighting functions. Faults can cause headlights, indicators, or interior lights to behave erratically, switch on unexpectedly, or fail altogether. These problems are typically the result of component failure or internal circuit issues inside the BSI.
These issues are well documented across a wide range of Peugeot and Citroën vehicles and usually require specialist repair to restore full functionality.
