Replacing a fuse
A problem in the electrical system may be caused by a
blown fuse.
F ig . 247 Ins trume nt
pa nel l eft: Face c ov er
T he fuses are located at the front left and right of the
cockpit and behind the trim on the right side of the luggage
compartment .
- Switch off the ignitio n and the e lectr ica l component
affected.
- Use t he fo llow ing tab le to find which f use belongs to the
consumer and remove the cover to reach that f use.
- Care fully pry t he face cover off the instrument pane l
using a screwdriver =:> fig. 247 .
Remove the plastic cl ip from its retainer in the face cover,
place it over the questionable fuse and remove the fuse.
Replace a blown fuse (recogn izable by the melted metal
strip inside) with a fuse of the
same amperage .
The individual circuits are protected by fuses. The fuse panels with
the fuses are located on the left and right front faces of the instru
ment pane l beh ind a cover and in the right storage area in the
luggage compartment.
There is a plastic clip in the cover on the lef t side of the instrument
panel, which can be used to remove the fuses. You w ill also find a
l abel on both covers in the ins trument panel with the fuse layout for
the corresponding fuse panel.
& WARNING
Nev er rep lace a fu se with one t hat h as a higher amper age r ating .
• A fuse with a too high amperage co uld damage the electric al
part and cau se a fir e.
0 Note
• On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g . patched up with tin
foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the elec
trical circuit or cause fire .
• If a fuse blows repeated ly, do not keep replacing it . Instead, have
the cause of the repeated short circuit or overload located and fixed.
[ i ] Tip s
You are well advised to keep a supply of spare fuses in your vehic le.
Fuses wi th the proper ampere ratings are available at your autho
rized Audi dealer. •
