The Citroën Xsara was launched in the autumn of 1997, originally as a five-door hatchback. The exterior was penned by Italian designer Donato Coco. The hatchback's design proved to be highly expressive, featuring a steeply sloped hood, sleek headlights, and a stylish signature grille. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the fuse box diagrams for the Citroën Xsara (codename N), covering the 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 model years.
Below, you will find the locations and photographs of the power distribution boxes. The fuses protecting the "Cigarette Lighter" and "Fuel Pump" circuits are highlighted in bold.
