Fuse Box Locations
Three fuse boxes are located under the maintenance panel, located in the front trunk.
- 1. Fuse box 1 (see Fuse Box 1 on page 118 in manual). DO NOT replace these fuses. If one of them fails, contact Tesla.
- 2. Fuse box 2 (see Fuse Box 2 on page 120 in manual).
- 3. Fuse box 3 (see Fuse Box 3 on page 122 in manual).
If Model S is equipped with the cold weather option, an additional fuse box (4) is located under the driver’s side trim panel.
Replacing a Fuse
To remove a fuse box cover, press the plastic tabs on either side.
Identify the fuse protecting the affected circuit. Refer to the label on the inside of the fuse box cover or the fuse tables provided in this section.
Pull the fuse to remove it. A break in the wire inside the fuse indicates that the fuse has blown.
Note: Do not replace fuses in fuse boxes 1 and 4, and do not remove or replace any relays. If one of these fails, contact Tesla.
