I've always found the fuse box on the right side of the dashboard in my Audis before, but I'm not sure whether that's the case with my 2002 A8 2.8 Quattro.

Thanks

The fusebox is probably under the footwell on the passenger side, beneath the dashboard. You'll have to take off a plastic covering.

No plastic cover or fuse box is visible in this area; all I see are relays and a long, flat black plastic tube that seems to provide heat to the car's cargo area.

When you open the door, there are usually audies on both ends of the dashboard.

I had the same idea, but after seeing John check, I'm guessing it must be to the left.


My only guess is that it's over on the other end of the dashboard from where you've been looking.

Yes, that's a strange one, and I can't seem to find any information on it online. I guess I'll have to give Audi a call and inquire.

Did you attempt to pry off the door trim or the dashboard's side panels before opening the car?

I didn't see them, but they appear like vents for air.

Yep. Take off the sleeve

Finally identified the fuse box, which, according to popular belief, is not hidden beneath the carpet but rather is positioned in the driver-side pillar.
