Where is the fuse box located in an Audi A4?

The fuse box in an Audi A4 is located on the right side of the front passenger seat. Simply open the fuse box cover on the passenger side to access it. Taking the 2020 Audi A4 as an example, it is classified as a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4858mm, width 1847mm, height 1439mm, wheelbase 2908mm, fuel tank capacity 56 liters, and curb weight 1615kg. The 2020 Audi A4 features a five-link independent suspension in both the front and rear, and is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 190PS, maximum power of 140kW, and maximum torque of 320Nm. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I found that the Audi A4 typically has two main locations for its fuse boxes: The first is in the engine compartment. After opening the hood, look to the left near the windshield, where there’s a black box cover with labels indicating the functions of the fuses. The second is inside the vehicle cabin. From the driver’s seat, check below the steering wheel, or open the glove compartment on the passenger side—there’s a small door behind it that can be pushed open to reveal the fuse box. The exact location may vary depending on the model year; for example, the 2015 model I drove had it in a noticeable spot inside the glove box. When searching, prepare a small screwdriver to gently pry open the cover without forcing it to avoid damage. The fuse box usually includes a diagram showing which fuse controls components like headlights or the AC. Remembering these locations can save time—if your headlights suddenly go out at night, pull over quickly to check the fuses rather than delaying repairs and compromising safety. When replacing a fuse yourself, remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits, and always use a new fuse with the correct amperage for peace of mind.
