Replacing a Fuse
To remove a fuse box cover, press the plastic
tabs on either side.
Identify the fuse protecting the affected
circuit. Refer to the label on the inside of the
fuse box cover or the fuse tables provided in
this section.
Pull the fuse to remove it. A break in the wire
inside the fuse indicates that the fuse has
blown.
Note: Do not replace fuses in fuse boxes
1 and 4, and do not remove or replace any
relays. If one of these fails, contact Tesla.
Warning: Always manually power Model S
off before replacing a fuse (see

Caution: Only use Tesla-approved
replacement fuses of the same rating and
specification. Using an incorrect fuse can
damage the electrical system and result
in a fire.
Caution: If a replacement fuse blows after
installation, contact Tesla to have the
electrical system checked.
