2008 - 2009 Porsche Cayenne Fuse Table

2008 Porsche Cayenne

 

Changing Fuses

 

In order to prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, the
individual circuits are protected by fuses.
One fuse box is in the engine compartment. Two additional fuse boxes are located in the outer ends of the dashboard.
1. Switch off the consumer with the defective fuse. Before replacing a fuse, switch off all  electrical consumers and remove the ignition key.
2. Open the fuse-box lid.
3. Remove the corresponding fuse from its slot to check it with the plastic gripper. A blown fuse can be identified by the melted metal strip.
4. Replace only with fuses of the same rating.

Note 

If a fuse blows repeatedly, please consult an authorized Porsche dealer immediately, so that
the short circuit can be located and corrected.

Never try to “repair“ fuses: you may cause serious damage to other parts of the electrical
system.
