In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Tesla Model S (models 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015), including diagrams of the fuse boxes, a list of fuses and relays, their designation, and the location of the fuse blocks within the vehicle.
Checking and Replacing Fuses in Tesla Model S Identify the fuse protecting the affected circuit. Refer to the label on the inside of the fuse box cover. Pull the fuse to remove it. A break in the wire inside the fuse indicates that the fuse has blown. Caution!
Always manually power Model S off before replacing a fuse. Only use Tesla approved replacement fuses of the same rating and specification. Using an incorrect fuse can damage the electrical system and result in a fire. If a replacement fuse blows after installation, contact Tesla to have the electrical system checked. Do not replace fuses in fuse boxes 1 and 5, and do not remove or replace any relays. If one of these fails, contact Tesla. The maintenance panel protects the front trunk from water. When re-attaching, make sure it is fully seated. Location of Fuse BoxesThe fuse boxes are located under the maintenance panel, located in the front trunk. To remove a fuse box cover, press the plastic tabs on either side.
On right-hand drive vehicles, fuse boxes 1 and 4 are located on the left side of the car.
Removing the Maintenance Panel:
Pull the rear edge of the maintenance panel upward to release the five clips that hold the panel in place. Maneuver the maintenance panel toward the windshield to remove. If Model S is equipped with the cold weather option, an additional fuse box №5 is located under the driver’s side trim panel. Access to the fuse box requires removal of several components that must be performed by a Tesla service technician. The following fuse list is provided only to assist you in determining if a fuse in this box needs to be replaced. Contact Tesla Service if one of these fuses needs to be replaced.
