2006-2014 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class & S-Class Fuses (C216/W221)

The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and S-Class are luxury vehicles that are known for their high level of comfort and performance. However, even these high-end cars are susceptible to electrical problems. If you are having an electrical problem with your CL-Class or S-Class, one of the first things you should check is the fuses.

Fuse box locations

There are three fuse boxes in the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and S-Class:

The engine compartment fuse box is located on the left side of the engine compartment, near the firewall. The passenger compartment fuse box is located under the center console, near the driver’s knee. The trunk fuse box is located in the trunk, on the right side.

Cigar lighter (power outlet) fuses in the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class / S-Class are the fuses #117 (Rear cigar lighter), 134 (Luggage compartment socket), #140 (Rear cigar lighter / 115 V socket (from 2009)), #152 (115 V socket) in the Rear Fuse Box, and fuse #43 (Front cigar lighter) in the Engine Compartment Fuse Box.
