Chevrolet Captiva fuse box diagrams: Complete detailed schemes for all generations

BySerge Barrett

The Chevrolet Captiva (also known as Opel Antara / Vauxhall Antara / Holden Captiva) is a popular mid-size crossover SUV produced from 2006 to 2018. It was offered in two main generations: the first-generation C100 (2006–2010/2011) and the facelifted C140 / Captiva Sport (2011–2018). A blown fuse can cause problems with lights, windows, fuel pump, ABS, or other systems.

Below you will find the most complete fuse box diagrams for both generations, including exact locations, fuse numbers, amperage, and protected circuits. Diagrams are based on official service data and common layouts (slight variations may exist by market, engine — 2.4L, 3.0L, 3.2L, or diesel — and options like AWD or sunroof). Always verify with the diagram on the fuse box cover or your owner’s manual for your specific VIN.

General Tips for Chevrolet Captiva Fuse Troubleshooting

  • Always replace a fuse with the exact amperage rating.
  • If a fuse blows repeatedly, there is usually a short circuit — check the wiring and component.
  • Cigarette lighter / accessory sockets are among the most common fuses to blow.
  • For electronic parking brake or brake service, some models require a scan tool.
  • Corrosion in fuse boxes is common in older Captivas — clean contacts regularly.
  • Diesel versions have extra high-amperage fuses for glow plugs and heaters.

These complete diagrams cover the vast majority of electrical issues on the Chevrolet Captiva from 2006 to 2018. Keep a copy in your glovebox for quick reference. If your specific year or trim differs slightly, the diagram sticker inside the fuse box cover is the most accurate source.
