Where is the fuse box located in the Mercedes-Benz GLE350?

Generally, it is located at the upper right side of the engine cover or near the left tail light in the trunk. There is a knob that can be turned to open and reveal the fuse box. Function of the automotive fuse box: It belongs to the category of automotive fuse holders, which are detailed in the article "Professional Knowledge Related to Automotive Fuse Holders." The automotive fuse box is also used to install automotive fuses. The base and the box are not significantly different—the base is a base-type component, usually not sealed, while the box generally refers to the enclosed part, possibly designed for waterproofing and moisture resistance, hence the development of automotive fuse box products. Fuse sizes are categorized into: Small automotive fuse box; medium automotive fuse box; large automotive fuse box. Common injection molding materials include plastic, nylon, bakelite, and PBT engineering plastic, each with varying degrees of high-temperature resistance.

Last month, I figured this out on my own when I had to check the fuses due to a car light issue. For the Mercedes-Benz GLE350, there are two crucial fuse box locations. The one in the engine compartment is right next to the battery—just lift the cover to see the black square box. The one inside the cabin is a bit trickier, located below the steering wheel on the left side; you'll need to pry open the side panel of the dashboard. Remember to use a plastic pry tool, as metal ones can scratch the interior. The engine compartment fuse box controls things like headlights and wipers, while the cabin one mainly manages windows and seat heaters. Always disconnect the power before replacing a fuse—my friend once didn’t remove the key and ended up frying the computer module, costing over 8,000 RMB to fix. It’s best to check the manual for which fuse controls what, as positions might vary slightly by model year. If you’re doing it yourself, having needle-nose pliers and a small flashlight on hand will make things much easier.

As an experienced auto mechanic, I've replaced hundreds of fuses for Mercedes-Benz. The GLE350 has two fuse box locations: the one in the engine compartment is a rectangular black box with clips, located next to the coolant reservoir. The driver's side one is the hardest to find - you'll need to crouch near the accelerator pedal and look upwards to spot a plastic panel with a small notch. Just pry it open with your fingernail; no tools needed. Don't take shortcuts by using a screwdriver as interior scratches cost more to repair than a fuse replacement. Mercedes fuse box designs are more accessible than BMW's, making them relatively considerate among German cars. I recommend cleaning the fuse box during each car wash as dust buildup can cause issues in humid weather. When replacing fuse #15, always use genuine blue-colored fuses - aftermarket parts with unstable current may fry the mainboard.

Just ran into this issue last week, the power-folding mirrors stopped working. After some research, found that the GLE350 fuse box is located above the driver's left leg, behind the storage compartment. When seated, your left knee almost touches it - the cover has the Mercedes logo for easy identification. The one in the engine compartment is in the lower right corner area of the windshield. Used my phone's flashlight when searching - it's really awkward to see when lying down. Recommend getting it handled at the dealership, they'll fix it in two minutes. DIY replacement risks mixing up fuse types - there's a reference chart on page 128 of the manual.
