Long and crazy story...I had to remove all of the fuses in the left cockpit fuse box and I didn't get to snap a picture before doing so. Could someone help me out and either send over a picture of theirs (2016) or the proper amp listing for the listed fuses? I need all three of the panels. Thank you in advance!

All should be listed in the back of the manual. But unless some prankster was fired, the manual lists the fuses from high number to low, while the racks are of course in opposite order, from low to high. (Or vice versa.) Just doublecheck the positions, by number.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, my manual does not list amps needed. The list is there, in order, but I need what amp fuses correspond to the appropriate equipment.

If it helps, this is from a 2014 UK manual, extracted from a PDF:

====================
"A" is the leftmost rack, as you face them. Position 1 at the top, then counting down, which hopefully matches your manual. The fuse rating for each circuit should be the same, as the equipment is about the same as it was.

Or with any luck, someone with a 2016 can get you a picture.

That looks like it matches up with my manual. I don't like that they don't list the amps for the American documentation. They must not trust us :-) I'm going to give it a shot. As you said, maybe someone with a 2016 will still post a picture to double check. Thanks again.

I guess I am more curious as to what would cause someone to need to remove ALL of the fuses at the same time that disconnecting the battery wouldn't solve...

srfrtaz

Being a dumba**, in a hurry...our old Q7 was not easy to disconnect the battery in a hurry. I didn't have time to look into the new Q5. But thanks all for the replies. Looks like I am on the way to getting her back on the road. Now I think I'll lock up the spare keys.

Speaking of fuses. I've never known an ATO/ATC fuse to come loose from the usual socket, and never seen a "cover" like Audi uses to secure them in place. (And make them harder to remove.)

Is this becoming common practice? Some special reason here? Or just another Audi oddity?
