Audi A6  Self-help  Fuses
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 in the luggage compartment behind the right side trim.
Switch off the ignition and all electrical equipment.
Refer to the following tables to identify the fuse for the failed component.
Remove the appropriate cover.
If fitted, pull the coloured plastic frame out of the fuse carrier Fig. 2 (you can then dispose of the plastic frame).
Take the clip from the inside of the cover Fig. 1.
Use the clip to pull out the fuse.
Blown fuses should always be replaced with a fuse of the same rating.
Fit the cover back on.

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 a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
