- Fig. 1 Left side of dash panel: Fuse cover
- Fig. 2 Left side of dash panel: Fuse carrier with plastic frames
To see whether a fuse has blown, check whether the metal strip has melted.
The fuses are located at the left and right-hand ends of the dash panel and behind the right side trim in the luggage compartment.
Switch off the ignition and the component concerned.
Refer to the following tables to identify the fuse for the failed component.
To remove the plastic frame (purple)1), take hold of the narrow end Fig. 2 -arrows- and detach it from the fuse carrier.
Take the clip from the inside of the fuse cover Fig. 1.
Use the clip to pull out the fuse and replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the same rating.
WARNING!
Never attempt to repair a fuse or replace a blown fuse by fitting a fuse with a higher ampere rating. This could damage the electrical system - risk of fire!
Caution!
- If more than one fuse rating is listed in a row in the following tables e.g. 5/10/20, this is due to differences in the equipment of your Audi A5. Blown fuses should always be replaced with a fuse of the same rating.
- If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Note
- Unassigned fuse locations are not shown in the tables below.
- Some of the items of equipment listed in the tables below are only fitted on certain models or are optional extras.
- For right-hand drive Audi A5s, the fuse carrier can be identified by the colour rather than the letters (-A-, -B-, -C-).
1) The plastic frame can be disposed of after removal.
