Central and additional fuse boxes from 2/92: To remove the plastic cover, release it from the front or side tie bars respectively. Tilt the cover back and remove.
Additional fuse box up to 1/92: Open the glove compartment and fold down the fold-down holder above it.
Before changing a fuse, always switch off the ignition and the corresponding consumer first.
A blown fuse can be recognized by a melted metal plate.
Grasp the defective fuse with a clamp and pull it out. A plastic clip for better fuse coverage is found in the fuse box.
Insert a new fuse with the same current rating.
The nominal current value of the fuse is stamped on the reverse side of its holder. In addition, the holder has a color marking, which can also be used to determine the nominal value of the current strength.
| Rated current, A | Color marking of standard fuses |
| 5 | light brown |
| 7.5 | brown |
| 10 | red |
| 15 | blue |
| 20 | yellow |
| 30 | light green |
Reinstall the fuse box cover.
If the new fuse also blows after a short time, the corresponding circuit must be checked.
If several fuses and incandescent lamps blow out within a short time, the cause may be a defect in the generator relay-regulator and, as a result, the voltage in the vehicle's on-board network is too high. To check the relay-regulator, it is recommended to contact the service station.
Never replace the fuse with wire or other improvised means, as this may cause serious damage to the electrical system.
It is recommended that you always have spare fuses with different amperage ratings in your car.
Attach the fuse box cover and secure.
