The fuel pump fuse in a Golf is located inside the black fuse box next to the battery in the engine compartment. The fuse box cover has a diagram indicating the position of the fuel pump fuse. Generally, automotive fuses are installed in two locations - one under the engine hood and another under the dashboard. Both fuse box covers have stickers inside that show the fuse positions and their current ratings. Simply locate the position corresponding to the fuel pump icon. The Golf is a compact car produced by FAW-Volkswagen. The dimensions of the new Golf are 4296mm in length, 1788mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2636mm. In terms of suspension, the Golf features MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear.

I've been driving a Golf for several years, and the fuel pump fuse is located in the fuse box on the left side of the cockpit. Specifically, you need to open the cover panel at the lower left corner of the steering wheel, where there's a dense row of fuses. Look for the sticker on the back of the fuse box, find the position marked "Fuel Pump"—usually labeled with a number like F55. I once encountered a sudden no-start issue, and upon inspection, found the fuse had melted in the middle. Replacing it yourself is simple: first, turn off the engine and remove the key, use a plastic clip to pull out the burnt fuse, then buy one with the same amperage from an auto parts store and plug it back in. Remember to test the car afterward—listen for the humming sound of the fuel pump starting up. If the fuse blows again after replacement, it might indicate a short circuit in the fuel pump.

The plastic cover on the lower left side of the steering wheel can be pried open to reveal the fuse box, where the fuel pump fuse is located. Last time my Golf suddenly lost power on the highway, I pulled over and found this was the issue. Open the fuse box cover and refer to the internal diagram to locate the "FP" or "Fuel Pump" marking—on newer models, it's usually in the middle of the third row. Make sure to disconnect the power before operating; the plastic tweezers included in the car are handy for removing fuses. After replacing it, investigate the root cause: abnormal noise from the fuel pump may indicate a stuck pump core causing excessive current, or aged wiring could also blow the fuse. I keep five spare fuses of the same rating in my car for emergencies—after all, replacing a blown fuse is much cheaper than a dead fuel pump.

The fuel pump fuse is located in the fuse box near the driver's knee position. After opening the plastic cover, refer to the diagram to locate the fuel pump symbol—different model years may have it in different slots. It's safer to remove the key before proceeding. A blown fuse can cause hard starting accompanied by a buzzing sound from the inoperative fuel pump. If issues persist after replacement, check the fuel pump's resistance. Note that this problem may occur without triggering the dashboard warning light.
