The European-market Fusion subcompact MPV was produced at the Ford plant in Germany from 2002 to 2011 with 1.2L, 1.4L, and 1.6L gasoline and diesel engines. The vehicle underwent a mid-cycle facelift during this production run. This guide details the fuse boxes and relay panels for the Ford Fusion (B3 platform; chassis code CX70), complete with circuit diagrams and location photos. The fuse responsible for the “Cigarette Lighter” is highlighted in bold.
Fuse and relay assignments may vary depending on vehicle equipment and model year. Always cross-reference with your vehicle’s technical documentation.
