Quick Answer
On the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris, you'll find three primary fuse box locations:
- Under the Hood: Located in the engine bay, on the driver's side, near the battery.
- Driver's Side Dash: Found on the driver's side of the dashboard, accessible after opening the driver's door.
- Under the Driver's Seat: This fuse and relay box is located beneath the driver's seat and requires moving the seat forward and lifting a cover to access.
Under-Hood Fuse Box
This fuse box, often called the pre-fuse box, is located in the engine compartment on the driver's side. It houses high-amperage fuses for major vehicle systems.

|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | 200A | Blue | Alternator |
| F2 | 150A | Gray | Starter Motor |
| F3 | 80A | Green | Engine and Transmission Control Modules (ECM/PCM) |
| F4 | 60A | Yellow | Interior Fuse Box Feed |
| F5 | 40A | Orange | ABS and Stability Control Module |
| F6 | 30A | Pink | Fuel Pump |
| F7 | 25A | Natural | A/C Clutch and Blower Motor Relay |
Relay Locations:
- R1: Starter Relay
- R2: Ignition Relay
- R3: Fuel Pump Relay
Driver's Side Dash Fuse Box
This fuse box is for many of the interior and convenience-related circuits. You can access it by opening the driver's door and removing the panel on the side of the dashboard.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| F20 | 15A | Blue | Low Beam Headlights |
| F21 | 15A | Blue | High Beam Headlights |
| F22 | 10A | Red | Tail and Parking Lights |
| F23 | 10A | Red | Brake Light Switch |
| F24 | 25A | Natural | Radio / Infotainment System |
| F25 | 15A | Blue | Cigar Lighter / 12V Power Outlet |
| F26 | 5A | Tan | Airbag / SRS Module |
| F27 | 10A | Red | Instrument Cluster |
Under Driver's Seat Fuse Box
This location contains a mix of fuses and relays for various body and chassis systems.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| F40 | 30A | Green | Blower Motor |
| F41 | 20A | Yellow | Trailer Brake Control |
| F42 | 15A | Blue | Heated Seats |
| F43 | 25A | Natural | Power Windows |
| F44 | 15A | Blue | Horn |
| F45 | 10A | Red | Windshield Wipers |
Note: Fuse numbers and positions can vary slightly based on your vehicle's specific trim level and options. Always consult the printed legend on the fuse box lid or in your owner's manual to verify the correct fuse for the circuit in question.
How to Test a Fuse
A blown fuse is a common and usually easy-to-fix problem. Here's how to check if a fuse is bad:
- Turn off the ignition and all electrical accessories.
- Locate the suspect fuse box and remove the cover.
- Identify the fuse for the malfunctioning circuit using the diagram on the fuse box lid or in this guide.
- Remove the fuse. You can usually pull it straight out with your fingers, but a small fuse puller (often included in the fuse box) or a pair of needle-nose pliers can make it easier.
- Inspect the fuse. Look at the thin metal strip inside the plastic body. If this strip is broken or melted, the fuse is blown and needs to be replaced.
- Replace with a new fuse of the same amperage. Using a fuse with a higher amp rating can cause serious electrical damage and is a fire hazard. The amp rating is printed on top of the fuse.
Common Blown Fuses on the 2023 Mercedes-Benz Metris
-
Cigar Lighter / 12V Power Outlet Fuse: This is one of the most common fuses to blow, often due to a faulty phone charger or other accessory plugged into the outlet. If you find this fuse blown, first check the device you were using for any visible damage.
-
Radio / Infotainment System Fuse: If your radio or center screen suddenly goes blank, the fuse is a good first place to check. This can sometimes happen without a clear cause.
-
Blower Motor Fuse: If your climate control fan stops working on all speeds, the main blower motor fuse is the likely culprit. If you replace the fuse and it blows again, it could indicate a problem with the blower motor resistor or the motor itself.
If you've checked the fuses and are still having electrical problems, it may be time to consult a professional. Find a trusted shop on Repairius.
Before you pull a fuse on the 2023 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.
