Hello

Recently bought 996tt. I think there is something wrong with it fuse box.I mean, some of the fuses are in the wrong place or are missing. I found fuse diagram on internet to 996TT but I do not know if this is for American version of the car or EU ? Below I present a photo on which I think I have wrong fuses.... Can someone tell me please do I have to replaced some fuses as I wrote in the picture ?

Thanks

First off its a bit rare to have every fuse installed .. there are normally blanks .

A blank is obvious , remove the fuse and look , there should be 2 terminals if its an active system .. if only one terminal then its not used on your car .. fitting a fuse into this will make no diference to anything .

Fuse rateing is more important , a 15 amp fuse when it should a 20 amp is far more likely to blow.

There should be a fuse booklet in the fuse board cover .. or check the manual .. make sure if it says fuse B4 is 15 amps then you have that fuse fitted .

A larger fuse fitted than whats ment to be there can cause an issue should a fault occur on the system.

Do you actually have a fault or is it just that it didnt look right ?

I have no fault so far. I was just curious if everything was fine, because the car was imported from Saudi Arabia.
OK tomorrow i check fuse booklet.

Thanks
