Quick answer
The 2016 Tesla Model X features multiple fuse box locations to protect its complex electrical systems. You'll find fuse boxes in the following locations:
- Front Under-Hood Fuse Box: Located in the front trunk (frunk) area.
- Left-Hand Kick Panel Fuse Box: Situated on the driver's side under the dashboard.
- Right-Hand Kick Panel Fuse Box: Located on the passenger's side under the dashboard.
- Rear Cargo Area Fuse Box: Found in the rear cargo area, typically on the left side.
Front Under-Hood Fuse Box (Frunk)
This fuse box manages circuits essential for the front of the vehicle, including various control modules, lighting, and cooling systems. Due to the high-voltage architecture of the Model X, some traditional automotive circuits (like a conventional starter motor or fuel pump) are not applicable. Always refer to the fuse legend printed on the inside of the fuse box cover for the most accurate information for your specific vehicle trim.

How to Test a Fuse
Testing a fuse is a straightforward process that can help you diagnose electrical issues. Here's how:
- Locate the Fuse Box: Refer to the
Before you pull a fuse on the 2016 Tesla Model X
- 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.
