Where is the air conditioning fan relay located in the Passat Lingyu?

In the Passat Lingyu model, the fan relay is installed in the fuse box located in the engine compartment. Passat Dimensions: The overall dimensions of the Passat Lingyu have slightly increased in length and width compared to the B5 model. The length has increased by 9mm to 4789mm, and the width has increased by 25mm to 1765mm. The height and wheelbase remain unchanged at 1470mm and 2803mm, respectively. Since the overall dimensions have not undergone major changes, the interior space of the Passat Lingyu has not seen significant updates. However, the Passat Lingyu still offers the largest interior space in its class. Passat Introduction: The Passat Lingyu does not have a fan relay; instead, it has only one fan control box, which is located near the left front beam. The Passat Lingyu is a new series product upgraded from the Shanghai Volkswagen Passat B5 and was officially launched on November 24, 2005.
As a seasoned Passat driver, I've encountered the issue of the AC fan not working. The AC fan relay in the Passat Lingyu is usually hidden in the engine compartment's fuse box—you'll need to pop the hood and look for that black or gray plastic box. On the inside or side of the lid, there might be a diagram marking the relay's location; in the Lingyu, it's often near the J293 or J32 slot, roughly a matchbox-sized component. Remember to disconnect the battery's negative terminal before checking to prevent short circuits—I learned this the hard way when rushing to fix it nearly damaged other parts. If your fan suddenly stops and the AC blows warm, the relay might be burnt out, but don't tamper randomly—snap a photo of its original position before removal. I recommend keeping a small toolkit handy and familiarizing yourself with the manual's location to avoid bigger headaches from parking breakdowns.
