Replacing fuses (VW Passat B3)

In order to prevent damage to the wires and consumers of the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. Fuses that meet the latest technical achievements are used. They are equipped with blade contacts, so that conventional fuses can no longer be installed instead.



The fuses are located in the fuse box, which is located under the instrument panel on the left side next to the steering wheel.

Before replacing a fuse, always switch off the corresponding consumer first.

Unfasten the lid at the top and detach it from the holders at the bottom.

A blown fuse can be identified by melted metal plates.

Remove the defective fuse.

Insert a new fuse rated for the same amperage.

If the new fuse also blows after a short time, the corresponding electrical circuit must be checked.

Never replace a fuse with wire or other improvised means, as this may damage the electrical system.

It is recommended to always have spare fuses in the car. There are appropriate free spaces in the fuse box for storing them.





The fuse's nominal current value is stamped on the back of its holder. In addition, the holder has a color marking, which can also be used to determine the nominal current value, - A - fusible thread.



Attach the fuse box cover at the bottom and lock it at the top.
