2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Fuses and Fuse Box
The 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio has a fuse box that holds a network of fuses that protect the different electrical parts of the car and make sure they work well. The fuse box is in the engine compartment or inside the cabin. It has a range of fuses, each of which is for a different electrical circuit. These fuses are like safety switches. If there is a power surge or fault, they will break the circuit and stop any damage or electrical problems. For troubleshooting and changing blown fuses, you need to be able to get to the fuse box. This is important to keep your Alfa Romeo Stelvio running at its best.
FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuses protect electrical systems against excessive current. When a device does not work, you must check the electrical circuit inside of the fuse for a break/melt. Also, please be aware that using power outlets for extended periods of time with the engine off may result in vehicle battery discharge.

Fuse Extracting Pliers
To replace a fuse, use the pliers hooked to the fuse box.
Grab the pliers from the upper tabs, press them, and extract the pliers pulling upwards. The pliers have two different ends, both of which are specifically designed to remove the different types of fuses present in the vehicle:
Fuse Extracting Pliers
- MINI fuse
- J-CASE fuse
After use, return the pliers to their proper position by following the below procedures:
- Grasp the pliers from the upper tabs and insert them into their housing.
- Push downward on the pliers into their housing until they click into place.
WARNING
- When replacing a blown fuse, always use an appropriate replacement fuse with the same amp rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse with another fuse of a higher amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or any other material. Do not place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity or vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses may result in serious personal injury, fire, and/or property damage.
- Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition is off and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
- If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an authorized dealer.
- If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag system, braking system), power unit systems (engine system, transmission system), or steering system blows, contact an authorized dealer.
FUSE LOCATION
The fuses, which can be replaced by the user, are grouped in two boxes below the passenger side footboard and inside the luggage compartment.
CONTROL UNIT UNDER PASSENGER SIDE FOOTBOARD
To access the fuses, proceed as follows:
- Lift the upper end of the footboard on the passenger side, pulling to release the two buttons.
- Unscrewing the two hooks, remove the panel pulling downward.
The fuses are freely accessible on the control unit. After replacing the fuse, make sure that the panel and footboard are correctly locked.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX
To access the fuses, proceed as follows:
- Lift the luggage compartment cover.
- Remove the control unit cover.
The fuses are freely accessible on the control unit. The number identifying the electrical component corresponding to each fuse is shown on the cover. After replacing a fuse, make sure that you have closed the cover correctly.

FAQ’s
A1: The fuse box in the 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is typically located in the engine compartment or interior cabin, depending on the specific model and trim.
A2: To access the fuse box, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for precise instructions, as the location may vary. Typically, you’ll need to remove a cover or panel to reach the fuses.
A3: Fuses in the Stelvio serve to protect various electrical components by breaking the circuit in case of electrical faults or power surges, preventing damage.
A4: Inspect the fuses visually; if the metal strip inside is broken or melted, it indicates a blown fuse. Also, use a multimeter to check for continuity.
A5: You typically only need a pair of needle-nose pliers or a fuse puller tool to safely remove and replace a blown fuse.
A6: It’s crucial to use the correct amperage-rated fuse specified in your owner’s manual. Using the wrong fuse can lead to electrical problems.
A7: The Stelvio may come with spare fuses in a dedicated fuse holder within the fuse box or in a separate kit; check your owner’s manual for details.
A8: Electrical problems like a malfunctioning power window, non-functional radio, or inoperative lights can be indicative of blown fuses.
A9: To prevent blown fuses, avoid overloading circuits by using the vehicle’s electrical systems within their specified limits and address electrical issues promptly.
