Hi there. Got Model S after small accident (driver airbags deployed). When get into drive mode, 12v dies immediately… so want to check pyrofuse. There is a lot of video with tesla 3 pyro replacement, but 0 info about model S…checked under back seat and under hood, but couldn’t find it.. any advice? Big thx

I don’t know if this is any help but I remember it’s been discussed previously that if the car has been in accident and the safety features have deployed then there is one circular shape fuse on top of the 12V battery (blue colour on the first photo) that can be pushed back in. So worth to try.
Last pic might be it, but to reach it need to pul out plastic under windshield…just afraid if I do it, its going to be hard to put it back…its so tight there
My 12v battery is on right side and on top of it is nothing… under air filter there is small fuse box, but to reach it need to pull out plastic under windshield ((
Which pyrofuse are you talking about (not the high voltage right)? This video shows the locations for the 2 pyrofuses on a 2016, but there doesn't seem to be anything online for earlier cars.

the crap on top of the battery is the old location for that *sugar*. when they moved the DC DC converter from the wheel well to the firewall they also moved a lot of the other crap around. I think the pyro fuse was on the HV battery, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure there is a big ass fuse in one of the orange plastic cover spots.
The one which blows with airbags after accident.. in video its model X, I got model S 12/2014
finally found that bastard...its under air filter in fuse box....
Alright pal, what pyrofuse did you change? I’m having same issue with my 2016 MS but I have changed the small pyrofuse at the end of the fuse box. So I’m thinking it has to be the pyro on the main battery side under the driver side?? Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry didn’t respond earlier… was too busy and waiting for that fuse (attached pics)*Update* mine was just a blown 10A fuse that powers the solenoid for the contractors
So I’m a bit confused… that fuse I bought has no continuity and on my car same thing… so my question is on that pyro fuse should be continuity or not? (Bought it on ebay, maybe they sold me bad one?)
I’m glad you found solution for your one!

Do you know between this two terminals should be continuity?
