Fuses and relays
| Fuses and relays |
| General information about fuses |
The car's +12 V current is fed to the various consumers via three fuse boxes:
| • |
one inside the end of the dashboard by the driver's door
|
|
| • |
one in the engine bay by the far left of the bulkhead partition below the windscreen
|
|
| • |
one Maxi fuse box in the engine bay behind the battery
|
|
Most fuses and relays are in the main fuse box. Most fuses are blade type and, compared with older types of fuse, are subject to lower voltage drops together with the connecting sleeves. They are also resistant to corrosion. Blade fuse colour coding:
