Default Fuse question

Sorry but at office and manual at home. Can anyone post the fuse location and amp for the 12v accessory plug in the rear hatch? Went to fill a low tire w the audi compressor and blew out. Not sure if compressor even works :-/
Tried a phone charger and outlet is dead.

Each of the (4) 12V accessory plug fuses are on individual (dedicated) circuits located by opening the rear hatch, then open the right rear compartment. The fuse panel for these fuses is down on the very bottom of the compartment.

Edit: You do know that the key has to be on for any of the 12V accessory plugs to work, right? Just checking.

Call the dealer and get a new compressor -should be under warranty.

ELEVENS:
Copied from a prior thread you posted(I search, sometimes.... Haha):

"There are 4 15-amp fuses, one for each of the Q5's 4 12V cigarette-lighter-type outlets. The fuses reside in the right rear storage compartment, on the bottom. They are in the RED fuse holder and are numbered 1,2,3,4."

Before I just start yanking and break something, how do the pink bridge covers come off?

Thank you
