Where is the fuse for Audi Q5 SB7 located?
2 Answers
Audi Q5's fuses are located on the left front door side, right front door side, and the right rear side of the trunk. Fuses, also known as current fuses, primarily serve an overload protection function. Fuse precautions: Since fuses are connected to various electronic devices in the vehicle, remember not to directly wash the engine compartment with water during routine maintenance. Doing so can easily cause a short circuit in the fuses, leading to malfunction of the vehicle's electronic devices. If you need to clean the engine compartment, you can use a specialized cleaner or a damp cloth for wiping. Types of fuses used: There are also two different types of fuses. One is a blade-type fuse, which is thinner and plug-in, allowing a circuit current of 5 to 25A. The other is a slow-blow fuse, which is square and plug-in, allowing a circuit current of 20 to 60A. The color represents the amperage of the fuse, and based on the color, you can clearly distinguish the different amperage levels. The amperage is also marked on the fuse.
Hey, I own an Audi Q5 SB7 and drive it frequently, so I'm quite familiar with it. The fuse locations are basically in two spots: one is under the dashboard on the driver’s side. Once you sit in, reach down near your calf, and you’ll find a small plastic cover—pry it open to reveal the fuse box, which has several rows densely packed with fuses, each labeled with numbers. The other location is in the engine bay, near the battery, where the larger fuses are mainly housed. I remember last time when I replaced the headlight fuse, I found it in the left dashboard panel—pulled it out and saw it was burnt black. Checking fuses before driving is crucial; once a fuse blows, your lights or electronics might fail. For safety, use a multimeter to test if the current flows properly, then replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage to avoid sudden issues on the road driving you crazy. If you're unsure, take your car to the dealership immediately for diagnostics to check if there’s a wiring hazard.
