Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which fuse controls the 12V power outlet/cigarette lighter?
The Cayenne has multiple sockets, and they are typically protected by a 15A (Blue) fuse in one of the dashboard fuse boxes.
Some owners report the fuse for the main console socket is often Fuse #38 (15A) in the dashboard fuse box, but this can vary.
Action: Check the 15A fuses in the dashboard panels and look for labels like “Cigar Lighter” or “Socket” on your printed diagram.
I have a “Chassis System Fault” or “Air Suspension Fault.” Which fuse should I check?
This is one of the most common electrical faults. While a blown fuse is possible, the failure often originates with the compressor relay.
Fuse: Check the large 40A (Orange) Maxi-fuse for the Leveling System Compressor relay. On some models, this is Fuse #56 in the Driver’s Side Dashboard box, or it can be located near the main battery in the trunk fuse area.
Relay: If the fuse is blown, the compressor relay (often located near the steering column or under the dash) should be replaced alongside the fuse. A failed relay can cause the compressor to run continuously until the fuse blows, or the compressor burns out.
My PCM (infotainment screen) is freezing or black. Which fuse resets it?
The preferred method is a software reset, not a fuse pull, to avoid data loss.
Primary Fix (Hard Reset): Press and hold the INFO button (or the volume knob) on the PCM for approximately 10 seconds until the Porsche logo reappears and the system reboots.
Secondary Fix (Fuse): If the reset fails, you can check the low-amperage fuses (5A–10A) for the CAN Network Gateway/Diagnosis or BCM (Body Control Module) in the dashboard fuse boxes, as these often govern the PCM’s primary power.
The rear wiper motor stopped working. Is there a dedicated fuse?
Yes, the rear wiper motor is protected by a dedicated fuse.
Location: Check the Driver’s Side Dashboard Fuse Box. The fuse for the Rear Wiper Motor is often designated as Fuse #52 (15A).
