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. 178.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not
operating ⇒ page 250, “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.
