Nissan Wingroad - a compact station wagon that has gained popularity due to its reliability and practicality. However, even in such a car, electrical problems periodically arise, and the first thing the owner should do is check fuses. Without a block diagram, replacing them becomes a guessing game, and a mistake can lead to short circuits or failure of expensive components.
In this article you will find detailed fuse box diagrams for Nissan Wingroad W10 (1996–2005) and W11 (2005–2012), indicating ratings, critical circuits, and typical causes of burnout. We will also look at how to correctly diagnose a malfunction, where to look for hidden blocks (for example, in the trunk) and what fuses most often fail when installing non-standard equipment.
Where is the fuse box located in Nissan Wingroad
B Wingroad fuses are distributed over two main blocks, and in some modifications, also across additional modules. Their location depends on the generation and configuration:
- 🔧 Main unit in the cabin - under the instrument panel on the driver's side. To gain access, open the door, remove the cover (it is secured with latches) and move the seat back.
- 🔋 Block under the hood - next to the battery (in W11) or on the left mudguard (in W10). Often covered with a plastic cap labeled
FUSE. - 📦 Additional unit in the trunk - only in versions with a rich set of equipment (for example, with an electric rear door). Located under the casing on the right.
B Wingroad W10 (until 2005) the main fuse block is combined with a relay and has yellow or gray cover with diagram designation. B W11 (after 2005) the block is divided: fuses are in the passenger compartment, relays are under the hood. Please note that in diesel versions (YD22DDTi) there may be an additional unit for the injection system.
⚠️ Attention: In right-hand drive models (for example, for the Japanese market), the location of the blocks is mirrored. Don't be confusedLHD(left-hand drive) andRHD(right-hand drive) diagrams!

Fuse diagram for Nissan Wingroad W10 (1996–2005)
B W10 The fuse box is combined with a relay and contains up to 40 elements, depending on the configuration. Below is a transcript for the basic version with a gasoline engine GA16DE. For diesel CD20 And YD22 added fuses F35 (heating candles) and F38 (Injection ECU).
| Number | Rating (A) | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
F1 |
10 | Interior lighting, instrument lighting | Often burns out when installing LEDs |
F7 |
15 | Windshield wipers, washer | Check the washer pump if it fails |
F10 |
10 | Audio system, cigarette lighter | Burns out when connecting powerful devices |
F20 |
20 | Power windows | Possible motor malfunction |
F30 |
10 | Engine control unit (ECU) | Never replace with a fuse of a higher rating! |
Complete diagram for W10 can be found on the back of the unit cover or in repair manual (section EL-12). If you have version with ABS, pay attention to the fuse F25 (10A) — it is responsible for powering the anti-lock braking system unit. When it burns out, the indicator on the dashboard lights up ABS.
How to check a fuse without a tester?
Take out the fuse and look at the light: if the thread inside is broken, it has burned out. You can also replace a suspicious fuse with a known good one with the same rating (for example, from the cigarette lighter circuit).
Fuse diagram for Nissan Wingroad W11 (2005–2012)
B W11 The fuse box has become more compact, but new circuits have been added for climate control, heated seats And multimedia system. The main unit in the cabin now contains 30 fuses, and the relays are located under the hood. Below are the key elements for the engine version HR16DE:
- 🔌
F5 (10A)— Instrument cluster, speedometer. When a burnout occurs, the instrument needles “freeze.” - 🎵
F12 (15A)— Audio system, navigation. Often suffers when connecting a subwoofer. - 🚗
F18 (10A)— Immobilizer, ignition control unit. If there is a malfunction, the car will not start. - 💡
F25 (15A)— Fog lights. Check the lamps if the fuse blows repeatedly.
B W11 there was a separate fuse block for stabilization systems (VDC) — it is located under the hood next to the battery and is marked as FUSE BOX (VDC). In diesel versions (M9R) fuse added F30 (20A) for glow plugs.
⚠️ Attention: In cars withCVT(variator) fuseF20 (10A)is responsible for the transmission control unit. Replacing it with a “bug” can lead to box breakage!
☑️ Diagnosis of fuses in W11
How to check and replace a fuse: step-by-step instructions
Replacing the fuse in Wingroad does not require special tools, but it is important to follow the algorithm so as not to damage the unit or electrical wiring. Here's what you'll need:
- 🔧 Tweezers (usually included with the machine).
- 🔦 Flashlight (for inspecting contacts).
- 📋 Block diagram (photo or printout).
- 🔋 Spare fuses (set with ratings 5–30A).
Step 1: Turn off the power. Turn off the ignition and remove the negative terminal from the battery (especially if you are working with the unit under the hood). This will prevent short circuit.
Step 2: Find the faulty fuse. Use the diagram or check visually: a blown fuse has broken metal thread or melted body. B W11 Some fuses are transparent - they are easier to diagnose.
Step 3: Remove and replace. Using tweezers, carefully pull out the fuse (do not pull on the wires!). Install new same denomination. If you don’t have the original one at hand, you can temporarily use a fuse from a circuit that you can do without (for example, a cigarette lighter), but only with identical amperage.
Step 4: Check circuit operation. Connect the battery and turn on the ignition. If the fuse is blown again, look for short circuit in the wiring or consumer malfunction (for example, window lift motor).
If the fuse blows again, do not rush to install a “bug” (wire). In 80% of cases it is to blame shorted wire or a faulty relay. Use a tester to test the circuit for a short.
Typical problems and their causes
Owners Wingroad often encounter cyclical burnouts the same fuses. Here are the most common cases and their causes:
- 🔥
F10 (10A)- cigarette lighter. Reason: Connecting powerful devices (compressors, inverters) or oxidation of socket contacts. Solution: Strip the contacts or use a fused power strip. - 💡
F7 (15A)- windshield wipers. Reason: The motor is stuck or the brushes are broken. Solution: lubricate the mechanism or replace the brushes. - 🚗
F18 (10A)— immobilizer. Reason: Moisture has entered the control unit or the chip in the key is faulty. Solution: dry the block or reprogram the key. - 🎵
F12 (15A)— audio system. Reason: Short circuit in the speakers or a non-standard radio with incorrect connection. Solution: Check the speaker wiring with a tester.
B W11 with CVT fuse often fails F20 (10A)responsible for variator control unit. This may be due to:
- Moisture getting into the unit connector (check the seal).
- Faulty solenoids in the box (requires diagnostics with a scanner).
- Overheating of the variator (check the oil level).
If the fuse burns out immediately after replacement - don't try to install a more powerful one. This will lead to melting of the wiring or failure of the control unit. Diagnose the circuit for a short circuit!

It is better to buy fuses in trusted stores:
- 🛒 Official Nissan dealers - guarantee of original spare parts, but the price is higher.
- 🌍 Online stores (Exist.ru, Autodoc) - wide range, but check reviews.
- 🏠 Auto stores (Auchan Auto, Leroy Merlin) - budget options, but there is a risk of running into a fake.
⚠️ Attention: Do not buy fuses with the inscription MADE IN CHINA without certification. Cheap counterfeits may not burn out when the current is exceeded, which will lead to fire in the wiring!
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is it possible to install a fuse of a higher rating if it constantly blows?
No! It's dangerous. The fuse is designed for a certain current, and replacing it with a more powerful one can lead to melting of the wiring or failure of the control unit. If the fuse blows repeatedly, look for short circuit or a faulty consumer (for example, a window lift motor).
Where can I find a fuse diagram for my Wingroad modification?
The diagram is usually printed on back side of the block cover. If it's not there, download it repair manual (manual) for your model. For W10 look for the section EL (Electrical), for W11 — PW (Power Supply). You can also find diagrams on the forums (Nissan Club Russia, Drive2).
Why did it blow again after replacing the cigarette lighter fuse?
Most likely reasons:
- Short circuit in the cigarette lighter socket (check the contacts for short circuits).
- Connecting a powerful device (for example, a 150W+ compressor). Use a fused power strip.
- Oxidation of contacts in the fuse box (clean them with sandpaper).
How to test a fuse circuit with a multimeter?
Set the multimeter to mode calls (diode icon). Touch the fuse contacts with the probes:
- If the signal sounds, the fuse is good.
- If there is no signal, the fuse is blown or the circuit is broken.
To check a circuit without a fuse, connect one probe to mass, and the second - to the contact in the block. The absence of a signal indicates a break.
What to do if the contacts in the fuse box are oxidized?
Contact oxidation is a common problem in Wingroad, especially in blocks under the hood. To clear:
- Remove the fuse box (disconnect the battery!).
- Wipe contacts alcohol solution or cleaner WD-40.
- Clean oxidized areas fine sandpaper (1000+ grit).
- Apply conductive lubricant (For example, Liqui Moly Kupfer-Spray).
If the contacts are severely damaged, it is better to replace the fuse box.
