Koleos 2 - Fuses and Fuseboxes

[Fordman]

Having read the owner's manual to check the location and function of fuses in our Koleos (2019), and finding virtually nil useful information, today I had a good poke around, at the same time as I was changing the cabin air filter. I found the labels on the panels at the ends of the dash, and the main (LH) fuse box behind the glovebox, but I did not find the "RH" fuse box at all, so if anyone can add to this knowledge base, please do so.
I will add the engine compartment fuse/relay information when I have time to look at them.

LH (Glove Compartment) Fuses:

Normal access through the panel at back of glovebox. Might be a bit restrictive but ok.

Close-up LH fuse box. Note the bottom row are spare fuses (see label) and the white nylon thing is the remove/replace tool.

With glovebox removed. Just squeeze the pin and remove the extension rod at the left, then pull from underneath to pop the hinges apart.

The fuse label is behind the panel at LH end of dash, remove by levering with small screwdriver.

The label for the LH (Glovebox) fuse box.

THE SO-CALLED RH FUSE BOX:
I found the label but no fusebox, although I looked all around behind the RH side of the dash, including with a mirror, nothing.
I had a bit of a peek behind the driver's foot side kick plate, but haven't eliminated it completely as a location.

The label is behind the RH end of the dash.

But where are these located?

I found some unidentified relays (?) above the glovebox on LH side and wondered if these are anything - I dont know.

Further to the above post on the missing RH fuse panel, after exhausting any online information I can find, and talking to an auto electrician mate who had not come across this problem, I went today to the local Renault dealer. They got the Renault specialist technician (who I had spoken to before and he is very good) and he was apologetic in saying he had not seen a fuse panel on the right hand side of a Koleos. He just said it doesn't exist as far as he knows, and he can't explain why there is a label there. I think he muttered something about Renault during the conversation.
In addition, I had earlier looked very closely up and under the dash, and removed both the RH kick panel (near the accelerator) and the side panel of the console - nothing.
It's not really a problem, but I do wonder where the Air Cond fuse would be.
Like a dog with a bone, I haven't given up yet, and will check to see if these fuses are covered by the engine compartment fuses.

Also I am attaching a better copy of the LH (Glovebox) fuse panel label (more readable):

it's an old problem.... seem to recall that the Fuego panel diagram was in the handbook but it wasn't relevant to what was in the car...
Dunno that it's a Renault 'thing', most modern cars have an access/removal problem with electrical consumables - although I suppose that at least you know where the lights are, even if you can't figure out how to deal with them.... !

Hi there,
Any luck on where the Air con fuse is? My cars aircon is always on full blast and I can’t turn it off. Thinking it could be a fuse issue.
Thanks in advance

Probably not a fuse, because it wouldn't work at all.
But which model Koleos and year is yours?
I have more info on the fuses, but travelling interstate at the moment, and will sort out when I get home, in a few days.

Thankyou. I have a 2016 model (I believe it's the current shape)
If it's not a fuse, would you know what would be the main cause?

Is the AC climate-controlled or manual.
Aircon on full blast only is more likely the fan speed resistor or maybe the climate-control temperature sensor.
I find mine (climate control) will come on full-blast. when in auto mode, when the car is first started and will eventually reduce when the interior has cooled down some.
How long it takes to cool down varies depending how hot it is and what temperature has been set for the AC.
If it's a hot day it could be quite a while and on short trips it doesn't come off full speed.

Cheers

Further to my above posts. I did contact Renault Australia and they did send me an extract of the manual which supposedly suits my Koleos. It is a 75 page document, and besides being away from home for 8 weeks, I only discovered the reply in my spam email folder while I was away, so it has taken me some time to get around to this. Let alone trying to decipher the document which has many variations listed, and is probably confusing even to Renault dealer staff. However, I am gradually extracting relevant information and it starts to make sense.
Firstly, I have extracted the information for the LH Passenger (glovebox) fuse box, the main one. OK, the label in the car, as in the below photo, gives the basic info for each fuse, but the PDF attached gives a lot more detailed info for each fuse, and may be very useful. This appears to be the correct diagram for my car, relates to the photo and the label.
Unfortunately, the fusebox itself is not numbered, and the numbering "system" is non- systematic, so a bit of cross reference is required.
Now that I have worked out how to extract and load to here, I will try to cover the engine compartment fuses as well, in good time.
Meanwhile, re the RH fusebox, for which there is a label in my car, it appears to be applicable for some sort of Hybridisation models - is there a mild hybrid version of the Koleos anywhere in the world? As the dealer told me, the fusebox does not exist, so at this stage I am not looking any further, the label probably should not be in my model Koleos.
BTW, mine is a 2019 petrol 2WD, and this info might be fairly specific to my model, so don't take it for gospel (or anything I say for that matter ).
Hope this becomes some sort of extra reference for those interested. It's a start.

You can probably upload the whole document, go to

and press Add resource.

There's a Nissan T32 X-Trail Hybrid with MR20DD hybrid engine that shares the same platform as your Koleos.

That could be it, I haven't researched just how close the electrics and electronics are between the Koleos and X-Trail, but the running gear is certainly almost identical.
The other thing I found yesterday on Renault UK site, is the Austral, which appears at first glance to be a new reiteration of the Koleos, full hybrid. With a name like that, surely ...........?

I recall the launch so thought it was aleady here a few years ago, based on the Qashqai, but looks like it was then ruled out for Oz.

Renault Austral – the replacement for Kadjar – ruled out for Australia

The twin under the skin to the new Nissan Qashqai – the Renault Austral – has been ruled out for Australia, despite the SUV boom.
