Where is the fuse box of the Cayenne?
2 Answers
In the fuse box on the left side of the dashboard. Function of fuses: To prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, fuses protect individual circuits. Turn off the load with a damaged fuse and open the fuse box cover. Use a plastic clip to remove the corresponding fuse from the slot for inspection. A blown fuse can be identified by the melted metal strip inside. Only replace the fuse with one of the same rating. Note: Do not repair fuses or replace a blown fuse with one of a higher ampere rating. Never replace a damaged fuse with anything other than a new fuse, such as wire, foil, etc. This can cause damage to the electrical system and fire. If the fuse blows repeatedly, contact a qualified professional repair shop.
As a long-time Cayenne owner for several years, I can definitively tell you the location of the main fuse box. See that storage compartment below the steering wheel? Pull out the entire tray, and behind it you'll find the hidden black rectangular fuse box. The small plastic tweezers that come with the vehicle can easily remove fuses. However, be advised - models after 2020 have a redesigned layout where you need to reach sideways to access the hidden latch. Last time I replaced the cigarette lighter fuse, I nearly threw out my back. Remember to check the diagram on the back of the cover to identify the correct fuse, and never force it open.
