Quick answer
Your 2017 Tesla Model X has three main fuse box locations:
- Under the Hood (Frunk): Located under a maintenance panel in the front trunk.
- Right-Side Kick Panel: Inside the cabin, on the right-hand side of the dashboard, accessible by removing a trim panel.
- Rear Cargo Area: Situated in the rear trunk, typically on the left side, behind an access panel.
Under the Hood Fuse Box
This fuse box is found in the front trunk (frunk). You'll need to remove the main maintenance panel to access it. The lid of the fuse box has a diagram to help you identify fuses.

Relays: The under-hood fuse box also contains relays for primary systems, but these are typically integrated into the fuse box module itself and are not individually serviceable. If you suspect a relay failure, the entire module may need replacement.
Right-Side Kick Panel Fuse Box
This fuse box is located inside the passenger cabin. To access it, you will need to remove the trim panel in the passenger footwell, near the right-side kick panel.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| F41 | 15A | Blue | 12V Power Socket (Cigar Lighter) - Center Console |
| F42 | 15A | Blue | 12V Power Socket - Rear |
| F44 | 20A | Yellow | Audio Amplifier |
| F45 | 30A | Green | Blower Motor |
| F46 | 10A | Red | Glove Box Light, Interior Lights |
| F48 | 5A | Tan | Rain Sensor |
| F50 | 15A | Blue | ABS Control Unit |
| F51 | 5A | Tan | Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) |
| F55 | 25A | Natural | Driver Door Module |
| F56 | 25A | Natural | Passenger Door Module |
Rear Cargo Area Fuse Box
This fuse box handles circuits located in the rear of the Model X. It is found behind a removable panel on the left side of the rear cargo area.
| Fuse # | Amp | Color | Circuit / Component Protected |
|---|---|---|---|
| F60 | 40A | Green | Air Suspension Compressor |
| F62 | 25A | Natural | Liftgate Control Module |
| F65 | 30A | Pink | Trailer Towing Module |
| F66 | 25A | Natural | Trailer Brake Controller Power |
| F67 | 15A | Blue | Trailer Towing Lights |
| F70 | 20A | Yellow | Rear Heated Seats |
| F72 | 5A | Tan | Parking Assist Module |
Note: Fuse assignments can vary based on your vehicle's specific trim and options. Always confirm the fuse layout by checking the diagram printed on the inside of your fuse box cover.
How to test a fuse
Testing a fuse is a simple process. You can often tell a fuse is blown just by looking at it.
- Safety First: Turn the vehicle off before inspecting fuses.
- Locate the Fuse: Find the suspect fuse using the tables above.
- Remove the Fuse: Use a fuse puller (often included in the fuse box) or a pair of needle-nose pliers to gently pull the fuse straight out.
- Visual Inspection: Hold the fuse up to the light. Inside the plastic body, you will see a small metal strip. If this strip is broken or melted, the fuse is blown.
- Multimeter Test (for certainty): For a more definitive test, set a multimeter to the continuity setting (it often looks like a sound wave symbol). Touch one probe to each metal blade on the top of the fuse. If the multimeter beeps or reads close to zero ohms, the fuse is good. If it remains silent or shows an open circuit (OL), the fuse is blown.
Common blown fuses on this vehicle
-
12V Power Socket (Cigar Lighter) Fuse (F41): This is one of the most common fuses to blow. It is often caused by a faulty phone charger or other device plugged into the outlet. Before replacing the fuse, unplug all devices from the 12V sockets.
-
Blower Motor Fuse (F45): If your cabin fan stops working on all speeds, this fuse is a likely culprit. If the new fuse blows immediately, it could indicate a problem with the blower motor resistor or the motor itself.
-
Trailer Light Fuses (F66, F67): If you are towing a trailer and find that the lights are not working, check these fuses first. A common cause is faulty wiring on the trailer itself. Inspect the trailer's wiring harness for any frayed or shorted wires before replacing the fuse.

Before you pull a fuse on the 2017 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.
