The French minivan Renault Espace 4th generation was produced in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. During this period, the car received several restylings. The extended version is called Renault Grand Espace. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the locations of all electronic control components of the Renault Espace 4. We especially highlight information about the fuse and relay boxes, their photographs and diagrams, the purpose of the elements and the fuse responsible for the cigarette lighter.
The number of elements in the blocks and their circuits may differ and depend on the year of manufacture and electrical equipment of the car.
