Replacing fuses
Defect fuses must be replaced.
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are
located on the left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component
affected.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover ⇒fig. 182.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating ⇒page 242, “Fuse assignment”. – Take the plastic clip out of the fixture in the fuse cover, insert
it onto the fuse in question, and pull it out.
– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere
number.
– Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you carry the box of replacement fuses with you
which was delivered in your vehicle. Replacement fuses 4) are available
at Škoda dealers.
