Although not needed at the moment I was exploring how to access the fuses behind the small storage compartment at the driver's side. According to the owner's manual on page 109 it refers to pressing a button to  "open the tray" and pulling the "tray" out towards you. I cannot see a tray, unless it means the small glovebox itself. After opening the small storage compartment/glovebox and dropping it down I can see the fuse board which is in a vertical position set well into the dash. I was unable to get my hand it to pull this out or, for that matter, reach in to change a fuse.

Anyone else had trouble reaching the dash panel fuses?

You've undoubtedly worked it out for yourself by now  -  but if anyone else looks here for the answer........

 

                                            the miniature gloveboxy thing is what Skoda means by 'the tray'.  If you look up at the top edge, you will see it is prevented from dropping down completely by a protruding piece of plastic.  This plastic is bendy - bend it so that you free the 'tray' and it can pivot further on its hinges, almost turning upside down. Now it is in the correct position to be pulled clear of its hinges.  Don't be scared of damaging it - the hinge mechanism is quite robust - just give it a strong pull out horizontally towards the drivers' seat (actually in the direction shown in the handbook).  Access to the fuses is then quite good,

Thanks for your reply. I have managed to remove the miniature glovebox by pulling it harder than I expected. This does improve access to the fuses but I find they are still located well back in the void. It's a shame the fuseboard cannot be pulled out for maintenance as it's difficult to get your hand in and pull out the required fuse.

I hope I never have need to replace a fuse myself.

Yes, I agree.  Part of the problem, of course. is that once you've got your hand in there, it then obscures any view of what you are trying to do. I managed to substitute a fuse with a piggyback so I could power the dashcam by using very slender long-nosed pliers, but it was a helluva fiddle. Hopefully I won't need to go back in there ever again.

Hi  AlexUK51,

Once the door is LEVEL to the floor, slight WIGGLE  pulling out pressure  on the LEFT and RIGHT sides to release the 2 x hinge catches.

[The FEMALE hinge part is an 'open  C'  shape Male /Female. ]  ( see pic )

 

When refitting the fuse door, ENSURE the door is LEVEL and Wiggle in LEFT and RIGHT pressure to the sides, as you push back in.

 

FYI: There is this ANOTHER fuse board under the bonnet.  ( Picture from Skoda Kamiq handbook )

PS, the white bits of tape are for me, because I am old, as makes it easier to see/ locate bits when pulling part /  back together.

Excellent information! Many thanks to all who contributed to the solution. Well done everyone! Most useful! It will certainly help me when fitting a dash Cam to our shortly  (🤞) to be delivered Kamiq.

Moderators: This would make a suitable and very good addition to the "Skoda Kamiq Guides" section. Perhaps it might be moved so others reviewing solutions to problems might find it easier?

Again - Many thanks......Regards to all! Tony

Thanks for the useful information.

Long-nosed pliers looks the way to go.

Apologies, I know this is an old thread but does anyone know what functions the individual fuses have?

My handbook, and online version using VIN, for 2025 Kamiq say for RHD vehicle - mine! - that fusebox is behind glovebox on passenger side.

Not so, its in the drivers side compartment .

Photo of my fusebox layout attached and the handook gives no hint as to individual fuse functions!

From the owners manual…

Sorry Kenny thats the fuse layout in the handbook but it does not match what I have in my Kamiq - see photo above.

In particular I'm looking for the 12v boot power outlet fuse. I know its 15A but which one? I'd start randomly pulling fuses till I find it but its a VERY awkward/confined space!

Its the same thing, you must have a poverty pack as hardly any fuses compared to mine. The one you want is the blue on with the 15 up the wrong way 1st blue one up right hand side no 54 Read the words in the list ..Its there. Yours is the same box just devoid of a lot of fuses but they all correlate to same thing Top row are ACC controlled from memory but I metered mine out for the dashcam and use some unfilled ones as they have power in the top of each one

Edited 25 August, 202525 Aug by Exkiwi

As above it’s fuse 54 your looking for.

My fuse box is same layout as yours and handbook diagram, and as mentioned slightly more populated.

Found fuse 54 thank you. I could not initially see the numbering on black box but under magnifier its there.

Kenny - I note you have piggy backed your dashcam to a different fuse?

That looks like its not plugged into any fuse otherwise you wouldnt see the pins> Also when you do plug one in make sure you plug it it with the pigtail on the OUT end So if using a spare slot like I do the bare end goes to the hot side otherwise the power is not going through the fuse. Ive been installing them for 15 years in different models There are 3 different size piggybacks Skodas are normal and Midi Midi and mini are similar width pins but are too short.. Dont ask l now I found out but the box of them in the workshop unused tells you something. In the unpopulated slots if you shine a torch in you will see the little clips in one end Thats the hot or power end from pics below put the 12v pin into that and a 5v fuse in the top slot for the camera. You only need a bottom (red) fuse if you are piggybacking into an already used fuse and in these cars you dont need to do that as plenty of spare ones

Dashcam piggybacked off fuse 43 rear wiper, which according to consensus on here is the one to use and I have done on 2 Yetis and 2 Kodiaq’s previously.

Whatever I try and use a spare one as easier to work with Doesnt matter as Cameras only draw about 2 amps anyway

Thank you.

So if you check attached photo I could use 45 or 46 which are both empty but "hot"? Circled in blue.

Yes

As you see in your pic you put the fuse tap in with pigtail to the left and a fuse in the bottom holder the hot side is where you can see the clips on r/h end of them. That way current is running through hte fuse to camera You also need to find a bolt thats into metal for the earth side

Just to complete my part in this thread, I used fuse location 46 which was empty and ignition controlled. Simple job and ground connection easily picked up.

All working as hoped.

Thank you

Hi guys.

I’m trying to hardwire a dashcam battery, not just the camera itself. After probing the larger fuses in my fuse box, I found that only fuses 39 to 46 seem to be ACC controlled in my Kamiq.

I’m a bit concerned because these fuses are on the lower-rated side for a dashcam battery, which can draw a minimum of 5 to 6 A on the lower setting and probably 10 A or more when switched to the hardwiring position.

Since you already mentioned here that the go-to fuse is the rear wiper one, is that also suitable for a dashcam battery? Or should I use one of the empty fuse slots 45 or 46? If so, how can I be sure that the wiring for the empty fuse slots is strong enough to handle 10 A or more?
