Rear DC socket fuse amps?

DwainA · 04-13-2021, 09:45 PM

Anyone know what amp fuse the rear DC socket is on? I've seen someone say 5amps. I'm asking for a 2021 G05 45e.

Thanks

not sure exact amp but it is low. I blew my fuse the first time I used it.

The fuse with a suitcase symbol (F247) in the fuse chart is 15 A. Then there's this other symbol that might mean the other 12 V outlets - two fuses (F46 and F218), 20 A each.

(Why are they using these silly symbols everywhere - we can read and write, at least to some extent (sorry for my bad English ;-) ))

If you have your fuse index chart that BMW provides with the icon/symbols on it...look for the icon/symbols that are on the buttons and switches inside the vehicle. They are the same symbols/icons used on the fuse index as well as in the owners manual (if you all still have a paperback version).

EDIT: I'm not sure if this is the correct or same fuse index chart that you have...but I found the chart below doing a quick google search. The 12 volt socket fuse locactions are F46, F218, and F273 (based on the icon for the 12 volt sockets {see the top right column}). And based on the chart from this BMW...F46 & F218 are 20 amp fuses...and F273 is NOT used...but if yours is...then you should be able to tell what amperage that fuse is by its color if you don't want to remove it first or can't read the amperage written on the fuse.

So am I correct I saying F46 in rear qtr panel is the fuse for the power source in the boot?

No, F46 is in the BDC in the passenger footwell and would cover the power in the center console. F218 is in the Rear power panel and would be the fuse for the rear power outlet.
