The Opel (Vauxhall) Vivaro A minivan was introduced in 2001. The first generation was produced in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. In our material you will find the locations of the electronic control units, a detailed designation of the Opel (Vauxhall) Vivaro fuse boxes and relays, with boxes diagrams and photographs. Let’s highlight the fuse responsible for the cigarette lighter.
The design of the boxes and the number of elements in your Opel Vivaro may differ from the one shown and depend on the year of manufacture and the level of equipment. Check the description with your diagrams on the back of the protective cover.

Thank you for your work here. Could you tell me for the type 2 fuse box (I have the same situation like the picture) the number 2 relay for fuel injection computer and 3 for the diesel pump please. The diagram underneath looks different…
Kind regards
Nathalie Wittpohl
Hey there, I have the same problem as Nathalie, type 2 for engine fuses, the one for the diesel pump ( number 2 and 3 ) as shown on the picture are not configured as in the shema.. If you can help us.. it would be so nice. Thank you
On my Type 1 relay box the ECU (or sometimes known as the Injection Computer) was the left-most pink relay towards the bottom of the picture. The power to the relay comes from the battery via a fuse on top of the battery. The fuse and relay were fine but the bolt holding the fuse on top of the battery had become loose. The van was fine then one day at tickover it stopped and would not start. ODB scans said no ECU present. Odd that it worked for so long and hard to diagnose – others have said check fuses and relays, plus cables to relays, ECU, CAN network, etc. I did all of this and just found the loose connection by accident. So if anyone is experiencing a crank but no start plus no glow plug or engine management lights on the dash, and no CAN communication with the ECU, check power is getting to the relay, then check the relay.
