Where is the fuse box located in the Volkswagen Passat?
2 Answers
The fuse box in the Volkswagen Passat is located on the left side of the driver's seat, and the fuse box can be seen by opening the cover. The Volkswagen Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany, with body dimensions of 4933 mm in length, 1836 mm in width, and 1469 mm in height. In terms of power, the Volkswagen Passat is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW, a maximum horsepower of 150 PS, and a peak torque of 250 Nm. Exterior-wise, the Volkswagen Passat adopts the brand's new design philosophy, featuring a light-rhyme front face design paired with flowing chrome trim, with the iconic Volkswagen grille further evolved and double-L rotary full LED lens headlights.
Having driven the Volkswagen Passat for so many years, I've frequently dealt with the fuse box during repairs. It's mainly located in the engine compartment and near the driver's side footwell. The engine compartment fuse box is near the engine, close to the battery or firewall; open the front hood and look for a black plastic cover, usually rectangular, which can be flipped open. The one in the cabin is under the dashboard near the driver's left foot—just crouch down to see a small cover, pry it open, and you'll find a row of fuses. It's important to always keep a spare fuse handy so you can replace it yourself if one blows. Don't forget to turn off the engine before working on it—safety first. The exact location might vary slightly depending on the model year, but most Passats are designed this way. Regularly check to avoid wiring aging.
