The Mercedes SLK has two fuse boxes: the first is located inside the cabin, on the side of the dashboard accessible only by opening the driver's door. In this box, you'll find the fuses for the stop lights, cruise control, etc. The second fuse box is located in the engine compartment, at the top on the same side as the right front headlamp.

This box contains, among others, the fuses responsible for the air conditioning, ignition, etc. Additionally, in the video, each fuse is indicated with its corresponding code and amperage.
