Preparations
- Switch off the headlights, the ignition, and all electrical consumers.
- Open the appropriate fuse box ⇒ Fuses in the vehicle .
Identifying blown fuses
A blown fuse can be recognized by the burned metal strip ⇒ Fig. 199 .
Shine a flashlight on the fuse. This makes it easier to tell if the fuse has
blown.
Replacing the fuse
- If needed, remove the plastic tweezers from the fuse box cover.
- For small fuses, slide the tweezers ⇒ Fig. 200 ① onto the fuse from
the top A.
- For larger fuses, slide the tweezers ⇒ Fig. 200 ① onto the fuse
from the side B.
- If the fuse is blown, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same
amperage (same color and same imprint) and same overall size ⇒
.

Note
If a fuse is replaced with a fuse with higher amperage, then damage can occur at
various places in the electrical system.
