Where every fuse box is, and what every fuse protects — number, amp rating and circuit — taken from the factory documents: the i6 Owner’s Guide (Issue 3, 1997) and the V12 Vantage Workshop Manual (April 1999 and April 2000 issues). Pick your car below, then search for a circuit or tap a marker on the car.

No fuse matches that search for this car. Try another word, or ask the manual.
Before you change a fuse: switch off the ignition and the circuit. Never fit a fuse rated higher than the chart shows, and never repair a blown fuse — both are a fire risk. If the same fuse blows again, there is a short or a failing component on that circuit: find the cause before fitting another.
Common questions
Where are the fuse boxes on an Aston Martin DB7 i6?
The i6 has five fuse boxes: left forward and right forward on the inner wings in the engine bay, driver side and passenger side behind pull-down panels beneath the facia, and a rear fuse box in the boot close to the battery. The driver and passenger box contents differ between right- and left-hand drive cars.
Where are the fuse boxes on a DB7 V12 Vantage?
The V12 Vantage has three fuse/relay boxes. Boxes A and B are beneath a plate in the passenger footwell (left footwell on right-hand drive cars, right footwell on left-hand drive cars). Box C is in the boot, close to the battery. All three share the same 22-position fuse layout and each holds seven relays.
Which fuse is the fuel pump on a DB7?
i6: rear fuse box (boot) fuse 1, 20A (fuel pump 1) and fuse 12, 20A (fuel pump 2). V12 Vantage: boot fusebox C fuse 15, 20A (fuel pump 1, RHS EEC) and fuse 7, 20A (fuel pump 2, LHS EEC); the fuel pump relays are positions 1 and 4 in box C.
Where are the spare fuses?
Spare bayonet fuses are located in each fuse box. A spare 40A maxi fuse for the heated front screen and a fuse extractor are in the bulb and fuse kit, stored in the spare wheel insert under the boot floor covering.
