The Fiat Punto (2013 – 2018) utilizes up to three electrical power distribution centers depending on the vehicle specification and trim level: the Passenger Compartment Fuse Box located under the dashboard on the driver's side, the Engine Compartment Fuse & Relay Box next to the battery, and an auxiliary fuse block located in the luggage compartment near the battery or body control module. Standard mini blade fuses, J-Case cartridge fuses, MAXI links, and system relays protect the vehicle's electrical architecture.
