Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

• In the 2002 Citroën Berlingo (Series I, M59 facelift) the central-locking (centralna brava) circuit is protected by two standard blade fuses located in the passenger-compartment fuse box:
  • F14 – 10 A (BSI logic / remote locking feed)
  • F15 – 15 A (power feed to the door-lock actuators)
• The passenger-compartment fuse box is behind the small trim panel under the left-hand side of the dashboard (right-hand side on RHD vehicles).
• If both fuses are intact but the system is still dead or F14/F15 blow repeatedly, also check the 30 A “maxi-fuse” (MF5 or MF7, depending on trim) in the engine-bay fuse holder that supplies the BSI/door-locking outputs.

Detailed problem analysis

1. System architecture
   • Body Systems Interface (BSI) = central body computer.
   • Two separate supplies: low-current logic (F14 10 A) and high-current actuator feed (F15 15 A).
   • Primary supply from battery enters BSI via a 30 A maxi-fuse in the engine compartment.

2. Fuse-box layout (passenger compartment) – series I/M59 Berlingo

   ┌─────────┬───────┐
   │F13 15 A │ F14 10 A │ < central locking control
   ├─────────┼───────┤
   │F15 15 A │ F16 15 A │ < F15 = actuator power
   └─────────┴───────┘

   (Exact array may differ slightly – always verify with legend on the cover.)

3. Typical fault scenarios
   a. Blown F14 only → BSI lost logic-supply ⇒ no remote response, doors may still work with key.
   b. Blown F15 only → BSI commands but no actuator movement (you hear relay click but no locks).
   c. Both fuses intact, no operation → check maxi-fuse, wiring in door-post gaiters, or failed BSI.

4. Test procedure
   • Ignition off, battery connected. Remove cover, identify F14/F15.
   • Visual check → melted/broken element = blown.
   • Multimeter continuity test (Ω < 1 Ω is good).
   • After replacement, operate remote and monitor current draw; if it exceeds 15 A the relevant circuit has a short (usually chafed door-loom).

Current information and trends

• Community data (BerlingoForum thread #4409, 2024) confirms F14 10 A + F15 15 A as current reference values.
• Some on-line catalogues (e.g., AvtoTachki) list F16 30 A for early pre-facelift Berlingo/Partner; that applies to the non-BSI phase-0 cars (1997–1999).
• Late-model retrofits: aftermarket remote-lock modules often add an inline 15 A fuse as an extra protection; always retain the OEM fuse ratings.

Supporting explanations and details

• Why two fuses? Separating logic and actuator feeds improves safety; if an actuator jams and F15 blows, the BSI (via F14) can still be diagnostic-scanned.
• Fuse colour codes: 10 A = red, 15 A = blue, 30 A maxi = green.
• Analogy: think of F14 as a “signal fuse” and F15 as a “motor fuse”.

Ethical and legal aspects

• Working on vehicle electrics requires battery disconnection for extended work to avoid accidental air-bag deployment.
• Use identical fuse ratings; oversizing violates EU vehicle safety regulations (UNECE R 116) and may cause fire.

Practical guidelines

• Always note fuse positions before removal.
• Keep spare 10 A and 15 A blade fuses in the glovebox.
• After repeated fuse failure, isolate each door actuator by unplugging it to find the short.
• Use PSA Lexia/Diagbox to read BSI fault codes (e.g., “Open circuit front-left lock motor”).

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

• Layout can differ on vans without electric windows or on right-hand-drive export versions—consult the sticker on your exact fuse cover.
• If your Berlingo’s interior fuse panel numbering starts with F1 at the bottom, shift the count accordingly; the printed legend is always decisive.

Suggestions for further research

• Obtain the genuine Citroën “Technical Documentation Service box” PDF for M59 (part no. E2-00-00).
• Investigate retrofit of CAN-controlled lock actuators with current-limiting drivers to reduce fuse stress.
• Study common wiring fatigue points in sliding-door loom; consider silicone-insulated conductors for repairs.

Brief summary

The 2002 Citroën Berlingo’s central locking is fed through F14 (10 A) and F15 (15 A) in the passenger-compartment fuse box; a 30 A maxi-fuse in the engine bay provides upstream protection. Verify these first, then inspect wiring, actuators, and the BSI if faults persist.
