Thanks for sharing; found this after seeing Tesla Model S had its fusebox moved from the wheel well to the firewall .. for anyone else finding it for the same reason, TMS (P100D 2017) has the box flipped 180 degress with the lid towards the firewall and it requires a unicorn and some magic to replace the fuses. 2 amateurs and 10 hours later the fault codes was cleared though:)
Yeah we probably had 60cm worth of flexible and rigid extensions for a socket wrench with one guiding the socket between the firewall and motor, and the other screwing in front of the motor, and a low profile ratcheting wrench to get the lid screwed on and off with the limited space we were able to create. Whomever decided the lid should face the firewall should be tried for crimes against humanity!
Excellent video. Following the video and doing the steps myself, I have a few comments. 1. Would recommend taking pictures of the bolts and fittings so that you know where it goes when putting it back. 2. The two bolts on the lowest part of the fuse box are the most difficult, in my opinion, and would recommend putting something between the fusebox and body panel so that if you drop a tool or screw, you don't waste time fishing it up again. Also, do you have any tips on how to remove the bottom two screws more easily? I used almost 1 hour on those two.
Hei after changing fuse I got ton of message on screen. Any tips how to fix them? It's about power supply and problem with air suspension after removing tank
Hello, I have a question. I did exactly as you described in the video. I changed the fuse and put everything back together. Unfortunately, the car tells me that it won't start and that the car needs servicing. There's supposed to be a microswitch in the dcdc converter that detects sabotage. Did you also have this effect that it stopped working?
@@VagGarage thank you! Any chance to know if I need to replace also the PTC heater if the fuse is blown...or just the fuse? Do you know if the PTC heater is gen 2 or gen 3 for Model X 2017-2018?
@@VagGarage Thank you for this great input. Can you please write here or in the video description the part number for the SIBA 40A fuse and for the front PTC heater v3?
Hi @expresslangeGarage ! Appreciate the video! You say left fuse for PTC. Do you mean the driver side or passenger side? Left if you are sitting in the vehicle or left if you are standing in front of the frunk :)
I replace the heater fuse, I tested it, the heat is working, moved the car in and out of garage, then the next day, the car won't change the 12v battery, any idea why ?
@@VagGarage my friend brought the car back to tesla, and they replaced both his ptc unit and the junction box, saying that the aftermarket fuse caused the problem lol

Agree 100%
How in the hell did you get those damn screws out?
@@RyanDurbin10 if you're asking me then extensions + socket wrench and ratcheting wrench as described above and a lot of words..

I used small ratchet that uses bit heads

We did not remove air tank. If you have emptied the air system. It needs to be refilled from maintenance menu. Also you need reinstall software.
Is the full system restart thats recommend?
@@zilvinaskazokas3227not just restart but reinstall
I'm having the same issues, what did you end up doing?
Hi, getting the same codes as you did, how did you sort the issue, did you take it back to Tesla? Appreciate any help thank you.

@@VagGarage no😅
Do you have any solution for me as to what I should do now?

Great video. Do you know if the Model S Gen 2 unit is in the same or similar position?
It should be

Yes it is. This was 2018 model

Hi @expresslangeGarage ! Appreciate the video! You say left fuse for PTC. Do you mean the driver side or passenger side? Left if you are sitting in the vehicle or left if you are standing in front of the frunk :)
Standing in front of the trunk. Recommend to use multimeter and check both just in case :)
Thank you. Yep, thats what I did.
