In this video, we see the location and diagram of the fuse boxes of the Mercedes Class M W163. We will find the box located inside the cabin, in the footwell on the right side, on the exterior side of the body, behind a plastic cover. In this box, we will find the fuses for the cigarette lighter (which also serves as a power outlet) which are #2 (front cigarette lighter) and #6 (internal outlet).

In the engine compartment, we will find a second fuse box, located on the right side of the compartment (looking at the car from the front), contained in a black plastic box with a cover. In this box, we will find another fuse related to power outlets: it is #1 (internal outlet) but only for vehicles produced until 31/8/01.
