The Skoda Rapid debuted in autumn 2012 at the Paris Motor Show, slotted between the Fabia and Octavia in the Czech automaker's lineup. A hatchback version (Spaceback) was introduced a year later. This guide provides detailed fuse box diagrams and panel layouts for the ŠKODA Rapid (chassis code NH1/NH3; PQ25 platform) produced for model years 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Below are the locations, diagrams, and photos of the power distribution boxes. The fuses for the “Cigarette lighter” and “Fuel pump” are highlighted in bold.

Auxiliary Relay Carrier
The relay modules are mounted on a carrier panel located behind the main fuse box. For easier access, remove the side dashboard trim panel.
Relay carrier assignments: 1A – Fuel pump relay (petrol); 1B – Fuel pump relay; 5 – Auxiliary electric heater relay (PTC); 6/645 – Headlight washer system relay.
Engine Compartment
Type 1: Located near the battery; consists of primary fusible links and an adjacent auxiliary fuse box.
Type 2: Main fusible links mounted directly on the battery, with an auxiliary distribution board attached to the side.
