Where is the fuse box located in a Porsche 911?

The fuse boxes of the Porsche 911 are located at both ends of the dashboard on the driver's side and the passenger's side, with one fuse box on each side. The Porsche 911 is a car produced by Porsche AG in Stuttgart, Germany. It has a body length of 4507mm, width of 1880mm, height of 1294mm, and a wheelbase of 2450mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine delivers a maximum power of 331 kW and a maximum torque of 530 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6500 rpm and the maximum torque available between 2300 to 5000 rpm. The engine is paired with an 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission.

I've dealt with numerous electrical issues on the 911. Its fuse boxes are primarily located in two positions: there's a black plastic box with a lightning symbol on the right side of the engine bay near the windshield; and a more commonly used location on the driver's side - look down and to the outside of your left leg, you'll find a grooved plastic cover that can be pried open with your fingernail. I recommend checking the driver's side location first, as it's more convenient without having to open the hood. When replacing fuses, always ensure the engine is completely turned off, and use the dedicated plastic fuse puller - never use keys or screwdrivers to pry. There might be slight variations in locations across different model years, so when you can't find it, you can always refer to the owner's manual in the glove compartment.

Last time when my car's cigarette lighter failed, I specifically studied the 911's fuse box and found the one in the cockpit to be the most practical. It's located specifically below the steering wheel to the left. Move your left leg towards the door, and above your knee, there's a palm-sized cover panel. Use your fingertips to slowly pry it open along the edge, and you'll find neatly arranged small colored fuse chips inside. The one in the engine compartment is a black square box near the wipers, which requires opening the front trunk to access. It's important to note that designs may vary slightly across different model years of the 911. For example, pre-2012 models might have spare fuses hidden behind the glove box. Always disconnect the battery before replacing fuses yourself. Keeping a set of mini fuses ranging from 5A to 30A in the car can save a lot of hassle.

The fuse box in a 911 is quite easy to locate, primarily in two spots. When you pop the hood, there's a small black box with a lightning bolt symbol in the right corner. The more accessible in-cabin location is on the side panel near the driver's left leg—look for a small cover with a clip. If you can't find it there, check the inner side of the glove compartment. For replacement, just keep needle-nose pliers handy and ensure the new fuse matches the correct amperage rating. Personally, I find the driver's side position most practical—last time I tapped power for my dash cam from here, though be careful not to disturb the factory wiring.
