Where is the BFH1 fuse box hidden on the C5 X7?

Unread post by cit-rotti »

According to the owner's manual, there are 3 fuse boxes in the interior and 2 in the engine compartment of the C5 X7 (C5III).

The fuse box in the engine compartment "BFDB" next to the battery with the screwed fuses is clear.

Likewise the fuse box "PSF1" also called BSM in the engine compartment with the fuses on top and with the maxi-fuses below.

In the interior, after opening and removing the storage compartment, I only find the fuses at the bottom on the BSI (F1 - F17 +SH) and above the BSI the fuses G29 - G40. Also referred to as A + C in the instructions.

I can't find the fuse box with 5 fuses G36 - G40; marked as B in the instructions (BFH1) - does anyone know where to find it???

They underneath thePSF1 fuses and ecu in the engine bay. Sorry thought I had photo of these fuses.

To access them you have to unclip the PSF1 fuse box from the plastic fuse holder (3 clips) and the 5 fuses are held at the front under the PSF1 fuses by a flanged nut which has a wiring loom attached to it.

No, not that one Kenny. You're probably thinking of the BCP3 or the BFDB. :wink:

BFH1 is one of the cabin fuse boxes, not in the engine bay.

The BSI has fuses, but there are also additional fuse holders surrounding the BSI and one of these is the BFHI:

It contains fuses G36 to G40:

Wolfgang, you will have to look around the BSI area, use a torch (I know it is more difficult on Left Hand Drive vehicles as there isn't much room there), but be careful as there are fuses with duplicate numbers (in fusebox 'A'), but this fuse holder has about 12 fuses, where the one you want in Fusebox 'B' has only 6:
