2 Answers
The fuse box of the 2017 Jetta is located next to the engine, in front of the steering wheel, and can be seen when the hood is opened. Below are the specific details about the 2017 Jetta: Model: A compact 4-door 5-seater sedan. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4501mm, 1704mm, and 1469mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2604mm. Engine: Equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 90PS and a maximum torque of 132NM. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the top speed is 181km/h.
I've also driven a 2017 Jetta, and I remember the fuse box locations are quite straightforward. The main one is in the engine compartment—after lifting the hood, you'll find it in the front left corner near the windshield and battery. It's a black plastic-covered box that pops open when pressed, revealing densely packed fuses. There's also a secondary one inside the cabin, located on the inner side of the dashboard below the steering wheel, just above where your left foot rests. You can feel a small cover there; gently pull it to open. I've fixed a few issues myself, like lighting problems, by locating and replacing the corresponding fuses from here—just using regular pliers. Always ensure the car is turned off and the key is removed before working to avoid electric shock. Different fuses control different components, such as the cigarette lighter or audio system. The box cover usually has a diagram; if not, refer to the owner's manual. DIY repairs like this save money and time, and regular checks can prevent unexpected issues. The design makes them easily accessible, even for beginners, but those without experience should start with simpler tasks.
