Replacing fuses

Defect fuses must be replaced.
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located on the
left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover and under the cover in the en-
gine compartment on the left.
Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
–
Insert the wrench into the opening on the bottom side of the dash pan-
–
el⇒ f ig. 177 and remove the side cover or the cover in the engine compartment
⇒ p age 220.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the component which is not operating
⇒ p age 222, Fuse assignment in the dash panel, ⇒ p age 221, Fuse assignment
in engine compartment.
Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the re-
–
spective fuse and pull out this fuse.
Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect
–
fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.
– Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you always have the small box of replacement fuses in your
vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses from the range of ŠKODA Original Parts
or from a specialist garage.

CAUTION
● Never attempt to "repair" fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a
higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the
electrical system.
● Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist ga-
rage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.

Fuse cover in engine compartment

The fuse box in the engine compartment exists in two different
versions. You can determine which version your vehicle is fitted
with after removing the fuse cover at the location of the fuses.
