Where is the fuse box of the Santana located?
2 Answers
The fuse box of the Santana is located on the left side of the center console, above the driver's footwell behind a cover panel. When selecting wiring to match the fuse box, it is recommended to use larger gauge wires, as smaller wires can easily cause overheating of both the fuse box and wiring, potentially leading to vehicle fires. The Santana is a compact car produced by SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. In terms of exterior design, the Santana features a clean and simple overall styling without exaggerated lines. The waistline running from front to rear gives the body a dynamic tension, while the multi-spoke wheels complement the vehicle's appearance perfectly.
As a veteran Santana owner of over ten years, let me tell you that locating the fuse box depends on the model: the classic version usually has it in the left side of the engine bay – a black square box with clips, visible when you lift the hood. For newer models, most are hidden under the left side of the driver's seat; you'll need to crouch down and feel for the small cover with a triangular mark on the dashboard side. My 2019 Lavida version was even trickier to find – you have to first remove the screws on the side panel of the storage compartment and use a plastic pry tool to release the clips before seeing it. A reminder: always turn off the engine and disconnect the power before checking fuses, and keep needle-nose pliers and spare fuses handy. Different colors correspond to 15A to 30A – don't mix them up. If you encounter a blown fuse, don't rush to replace it. First, use your phone's flashlight to check the burn marks – if it's blackened, it indicates a short circuit that needs repair.
