Quick Answer
The 2017 Tesla Model S has multiple fuse box locations to protect its various electrical systems. You'll find fuse boxes located under the front hood (frunk), under the dashboard on the passenger side, and in the rear cargo area.
Under-Hood Fuse Box (Front Frunk)
The under-hood fuse box on the 2017 Tesla Model S is primarily responsible for circuits related to the charging system, high-voltage components, and some accessory systems. It's located in the front "frunk" area, typically on the passenger side, covered by a black plastic lid.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | 25A | Red | HVAC Blower Motor |
| F2 | 15A | Blue | Low Beam Headlights (Right) |
| F3 | 5A | Tan | HVAC Control Module |
| F4 | 15A | Blue | Ignition System (Various Components) |
| F5 | 20A | Yellow | Power Steering Control Module |
| F6 | 30A | Green | ABS Pump Motor |
| F7 | 15A | Blue | ECM/PCM (Powertrain Control Module) |
| F8 | 10A | Red | Horn |
| F9 | 25A | Red | Wiper System |
| F10 | 15A | Blue | High Beam Headlights (Right) |
| F11 | 5A | Tan | Instrument Cluster |
| F12 | 10A | Red | A/C Compressor Clutch |
| F13 | 30A | Green | Front PTC Heater (Auxiliary Climate Control) |
| F14 | 5A | Tan | Infotainment System (Various Modules) |
| F15 | 10A | Red | Fuel Pump (Low Voltage Control - Tesla uses electric drive, this refers to fuel for range extender if applicable or accessory systems) |
| F16 | 15A | Blue | Trailer Brake Control Module (if equipped) |
Relay Locations (Under-Hood):
- R1 (HVAC Blower Relay): Controls power to the HVAC blower motor.
- R2 (Horn Relay): Activates the vehicle
Before you pull a fuse on the 2017 Tesla Model S
- 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.
