Audi A1/Audi S1 fuse box and relay Diagrams (2010-2018)

The Audi A1 is a subcompact luxury car that is produced by the German automaker Audi from 2010 to 2018. It is launched as a direct competitor to the Mini Cooper and is available in both three-door and five-door hatchback body styles. The S1 variant is introduced in 2014, which is the first high-performance version of the A1. The A1 and S1 models are known for their impressive build quality, high-end materials, and sporty handling.

This article will provide an in-depth guide to the electrical components of the Audi A1 and S1, with a focus on the fuse box and relay diagrams. Understanding the location and function of these components is essential for any owner or mechanic who wants to properly maintain or repair these vehicles.

Fuse Box

The fuse box in the Audi A1 and S1 is located on the left side of the dashboard, behind the storage compartment. The fuse box houses a variety of fuses that protect the electrical systems of the vehicle. Each fuse is designed to protect a specific component, and if a fuse blows, it will need to be replaced with a new one of the same amperage rating.

There are also spare fuses included in the fuse box, as well as a fuse removal tool for easy replacement. It is important to note that if multiple fuses blow at the same time, it may be an indication of a larger electrical issue that should be diagnosed by a professional mechanic. Regularly checking and replacing blown fuses can help prevent damage to the vehicle’s electrical systems.

Relay

The relays in the Audi A1 and S1 are also located in the fuse box on the left side of the dashboard. Relays are electrical switches that are activated by a control signal and allow a larger current to flow through to another component in the vehicle. There are several relays in the Audi A1 and S1, including those for the cooling fan, fuel pump, and power windows.

If a relay fails, it can cause problems with the associated component, such as a malfunctioning cooling fan or fuel pump. It is important to ensure that the relays are properly seated in the fuse box and that they are functioning correctly. If a relay needs to be replaced, it should be done with a genuine Audi part to ensure proper function and compatibility with the vehicle’s electrical system.

WARNING

• Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amperage rating.
• A fuse with a too-high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire.
• On no account should fuses be repaired (e.g. patched up with tin foil or wire) as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause a fire.
• If a fuse blows repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. Instead, have the cause for the repeated short circuit or overload tracked and fixed.
