Changing fuses
If a fuse has blown it must be replaced.
The various electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The
fuses are located behind a cover in the passenger's foot-
well.
– Switch off the ignition and the component concerned.
– Remove the floor mat.
– Fold out the foot rest ⇒ fig. 133.
– Identify the fuse for the failed component ⇒ page 190,
“Fuse list”.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse box, fit it onto
the blown fuse, and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal
strip) with a new fuse of the same amp rating.
– Fold the foot rest back into place.
Caution
Never attempt to “repair” a fuse or replace it by fitting a fuse with a
higher rating - risk of fire! It could also cause damage to other parts
of the electrical system.
Note
• If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the elec-
trical system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
• It is advisable to carry several spare fuses at all times. They are
available from Audi R8 dealers and specialist retailers.
