NO FUSE BOX, Where is it????????

I need to change the fuse for my AC, but the fuse box in the cockpit just isn't their, wtf?
my 2013 C300 should have one on the driver side end of the dash or so ever text I've read said, am I missing something??
this is total madness and I refuse to take it to the dealership service dpt to be charged $1.2 million just to replace a fuse.
Its just fuse!
can someone direct me to the secret location of this cockpit fuse box please....

You need to "pop" the cover with a plastic trim pry if you have one or a screw driver taking care not to bugger up the plastic. My '09 C300 only has 2 fuses in there, both w/o anything to do with the A/C.

It's listed as only on the facelift cars. His is a 2013 so it should be there.

AC fuse maybe in the fuse box under hood near driver side.
location may vary depends on year and model.
and the owner manual may also be different. :P

I found it. On a different thread someone posted the actual diagram for the fuse box. Which doesn’t have instrument panel fuse near dashboard by the drivers seat. I’m posting it here if anybody needs it.

Check fuse 2,3,18,39,41. It should be one of them. If you can’t find them, check the fuse diagram I’ve attached in my previous post. What year and model is your car?

I dont think the tail lights work like that.

I usually refer to this site for the fuse diagrams: https://fuse-box.info/mercedes-benz/...uses-and-relay
