Where is the fuel injector fuse located in the Volkswagen Passat?

The fuel injector fuse in the Volkswagen Passat is located in two positions: below the steering wheel on the left side and next to the battery. Introduction to fuses: Fuses, also known as current fuses, are defined as "fusible links" by the IEC127 standard. Their primary function is to provide overload protection. Function of fuses: When the current abnormally rises to a certain level and duration, the fuse will melt and cut off the current, thereby protecting the safe operation of the circuit. When a fuse is correctly installed in a circuit, it will melt and interrupt the current when the current abnormally increases to a certain level and temperature, ensuring the safe operation of the circuit.
I often encounter this issue when repairing cars. The fuse for the Volkswagen Passat's fuel injector is usually located in the fuse box in the engine compartment. You need to open the hood and look for a black box, typically near the battery or towards the front left side of the vehicle. After opening the cover, refer to the diagram inside to find the fuse labeled 'fuel injector' or 'fuel injection.' The exact position may vary depending on the model year—for example, older Passat models might have it towards the center. If the fuse is blown, the car may experience difficulty starting or engine stuttering. I must remind you to disconnect the power before working on it to avoid short circuits and sparks. During routine maintenance, it's a good idea to check the condition of the fuses to prevent unexpected breakdowns. The fuel injector relies on this fuse for power, and if it fails, the injector stops working. I recommend carrying a spare fuse just in case, and before replacing it, use a multimeter to test for safety—don’t cut corners on safety details to save money.
