    Looking for help here.

    The magnetic charge port on my car isn't registering, so the car wont take a charge from it. It turns out there is a 15A inline fuse located in the fuse box behind the seating - F78. Of course Ferrari did away with any easy access to this location and appears to require disassembly. Ive scoured YouTube and the forum but havent had any success with a DIY.

    Does anyone have any instructions on how to access?

    Not a difficult job but still no documentation that tells you much more than general location of the fuse box (1 of 5 in the 488).

    Here is what I found:

    Tools required:
    - Torx 25
    - 8mm extended socket

    Remove the rear speaker inner door casing - good video on the removal of this from Scuderia Audio - very simple to do. Once its been removed, you will be left with this view. The fuse box is behind the metal panel - this is removed with two 8mm nuts, and two 8mm bolts. Identified in red. Its on a bracket that takes a little patience to pull out so take your time.

    Once its removed it gives you full access to the panel with the 15A fuse. It was the reason why I couldn't charge at the connector, so well worth the time to fix. All in all, give yourself about 90min to do this whole job. I've also included the fuse box diagram for others. Image Unavailable, Please Login
