Minor Repairs
Changing fuses
In order to prevent damage to the electrical
system due to short circuits and overloads,
the individual circuits are protected by fuses.
One fuse box is located in the luggage
compartment. Two additional fuse boxes are
located in the outer ends of the dashboard.
1. Switch off the load with the defective fuse.
2. Open the fuse box cover.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot
using the plastic gripper
D
in order to check it.
A blown fuse can be identified by the melted
metal strip.
4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating.
We recommend that you use genuine Porsche
fuses for replacement.
Note
f
If a fuse blows repeatedly:
Please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
We recommend that you have an authorized
Porsche dealer to do this work as they have
trained workshop personnel and the necessary
parts and tools.
