The Renault Espace is often called the world’s first mass-produced minivan. In America, the Chrysler Dodge Caravan began mass production a few months earlier, but it had a semi-tank rather than a single-volume layout. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the fuse and relay locations in the Renault Espace (fourth generation; internal designation JK) for the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 model years.
There are three fuse blocks: the main fuse block (1) and another (2) below it on the driver’s side, at the top of the dashboard. On the passenger side, there is a third block (3) behind the glove compartment.
