Mercedes-Benz C-Class Fuse Box Diagram: W204 [2008-2014]

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 is a popular luxury sedan that was produced from 2008 to 2014. It is known for its sleek design, powerful engines, and luxurious interior.

One of the most important components of the C-Class W204 is the fuse box. The fuse box is responsible for protecting the electrical system of the car from damage caused by overloads or shorts.

If you own a Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204, it is important to know where the fuse box is located and how to identify the different fuses. This will help you troubleshoot electrical problems in your car and replace blown fuses as needed.

There are three fuse boxes located in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204:

  • Engine compartment fuse box: This fuse box is located in the engine compartment, on the left side of the car.
  • Passenger compartment fuse box: This fuse box is located under the dashboard, on the driver’s side.
  • Luggage compartment fuse box: This fuse box is located in the luggage compartment, on the left side.

Let’s explore all the fuse boxes in the C-Class W204.
