Replacing fuses in the dash panel
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.
– Carefully swivel the cover in the direction of arrow and pull it out
⇒ fig. 169.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating
⇒ page 206, “Fuse assignment in the dash panel”.
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the
respective fuse and pull out this fuse.
– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the
defect fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.
– Insert the fuse cover into the dash panel in such a way that the guide
lugs are guided into the openings of the dash panel and then lock
them by pressing.
We recommend that you carry the box of replacement fuses with you which was delivered in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses 7) from a Škoda Service Par tner.

Caution
•Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical system.
•Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
