Where is the fuse box located in the Mercedes GLC200?
2 Answers
The fuse box of the Mercedes GLC is located in the trunk. Please note that when opening the fuse box, ensure that moisture does not enter. When closing the box cover, make sure it is correctly positioned on the fuse box, otherwise moisture or dirt may affect the fuse's performance. Mercedes GLC Fuses: The fuses in the Mercedes GLC are a type of current fuse. When the circuit current exceeds twice the rated current of the fuse, it will melt within seconds, providing circuit protection. They are commonly used for overcurrent protection in automotive circuits and also in industrial equipment. Precautions: Replace fuses according to the rated current value indicated on the fuse box cover. Do not use fuses with a higher rated current than specified. If the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates a possible fault in the circuit system, which should be inspected and repaired as soon as possible. In the absence of a spare fuse, in emergencies, you can temporarily replace it with a fuse from other equipment that does not affect driving or safety.
As a veteran driver with nearly thirty years of experience, I've driven quite a few Mercedes-Benz models, including the GLC200. When it comes to the fuse box, it's usually hidden in the driver's side footwell area—specifically, if you're sitting in the driver's seat, look slightly inward near your left foot, and you'll find a plastic cover that can be easily popped open. If you can't locate it there, there might be a secondary one in the left sidewall of the trunk, near the spare tire. Why is this location important? Mainly for troubleshooting electrical issues, like when headlights won't turn on or the cigarette lighter stops working—it's often a blown fuse. Always disconnect the power before checking to avoid short circuits. Remember, the exact position may vary slightly by model, but for the GLC200, it's typically designed here. Consulting the manual is the safest bet. I make it a habit to glance at it during routine maintenance to prevent bigger problems down the road.
