How to test a fuse
- Turn off the ignition and all accessories.
- Locate the fuse box using the information above.
- Remove the fuse box cover. You should find a diagram of the fuse layout on the inside of the cover.
- Identify the suspect fuse.
- Remove the fuse. You can use the fuse puller tool that is often included in the fuse box.
- Inspect the fuse. Look for a broken filament inside the fuse. If the filament is broken, the fuse is blown.
- Test the fuse with a multimeter. Set your multimeter to the continuity setting. Touch the probes to each end of the fuse. If the multimeter beeps, the fuse is good. If it doesn't beep, the fuse is blown.
Common blown fuses on this vehicle
- Cigar/12V outlets: This is often caused by a faulty phone charger or other device plugged into the outlet.
- Headlights: If a headlight is out, the first thing to check is the fuse. If the fuse is blown, it could be a sign of a bad bulb or a wiring problem.
- Fuel pump: A blown fuel pump fuse will cause the engine to crank but not start. This can be caused by a faulty fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter.
Always replace a blown fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause serious damage to your vehicle's electrical system.

Before you pull a fuse on the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Metris
- Use the label printed on the panel cover or the owner's manual for your exact build. Layouts change with options, model year and build date, so a chart for another truck can be wrong.
- Replace a blown fuse only with the same amp rating. A larger fuse can let wiring overheat.
- A fuse that blows again right away means a short or failing component downstream. Find the cause before replacing it again.
- A good fuse doesn't prove the circuit works — relays, grounds and connectors fail too.
- Disconnect the battery before working near high-current fuses or cables.
