2005, 2006).

Checking and Replacing Fuses

The fuses are designed to blow before the entire wiring harness is damaged. If
any of the electrical components do not operate, a fuse may have blown. If this
happens, check and replace the fuses as necessary.

 Switch off the headlights, the ignition, and all electrical consumers.
 Open the appropriate fuse box.
 See diagrams below for details about which fuse to check.
 Remove the fuse using the plastic tweezers located on the fuse box
cover.
 Check if the fuse is blown – if the thin metal strip inside is broken, the
fuse has blown.
 If the fuse is blown, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same
amperage (same color and same imprint) and same overall size.
 Replace the cover.
Notice
 Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amp rating. Replace a
blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage (same color and
same imprint) and same overall size.
 Never repair fuses.
 Never replace fuses with a metal strip, a paper clip, or a similar object.
  If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical
system should be checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an
authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
