– Switch off the ignition and the component concerned. – Identify the fuse for the failed component. – Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, 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 ampere rating. The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel. In versions with the steering wheel on the right the fuses are on the right-hand side of the instrument panel, behind a cover. The electric windows are protected by circuit breakers. These reset automatically after a few seconds when the overload (caused for example by frozen windows) has been corrected.
Colour coding of fuses
WARNING
Never “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a higher rating. Failure to comply could result in fire. This could also cause damage to other parts of the electrical system.
Note
•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.
• If you replace a fuse with a stronger fuse, you could cause damage to another location in the electrical system.
• Always keep some spare fuses in the vehicle. These are available from SEAT dealers.
