Where is the Golf 7 fuse box located?
2 Answers
There are two fuse boxes in the Golf 7. One fuse box is located under the dashboard in the driver's compartment, specifically on the left side of the center console, inside the cover above the driver's footwell. The other fuse box is near the battery in the engine compartment. Each fuse box is similar, with corresponding numbers and descriptions on the inside of the cover, allowing car owners to clearly identify the specific information of each component. Below is related information about fuses: Steps to replace a fuse: 1. Turn off the vehicle and all power sources before inspection. 2. Locate the corresponding position, use a small pry tool to open the protective cover, and check the component information inside the fuse box. 3. Use a light or a test pen to perform a preliminary check on the fuse, confirming it has blown before considering replacement. 4. The new fuse should match the old one in size, color, and all specifications. 5. After replacement, check if the corresponding component is functioning; otherwise, send it to a repair shop promptly. Fuse-related precautions: 1. Using fuses that do not meet specifications may cause fires or injuries. 2. Installing fuses with a current rating higher than specified can easily overload and damage components. 3. Never attempt to repair a damaged fuse. 4. Do not use paper clips as substitutes for original fuses.
I've encountered this issue before. The Golf 7 has two fuse box locations that are most frequently asked about. The fuse box on the driver's side is right above your left knee - just look down and you'll see a notched plastic cover below the instrument panel. Apply some clever force to pry it open, and you'll find neatly arranged fuses of different colors, each representing different amperage ratings. The engine compartment fuse box is located near the windshield - that black plastic box next to the battery. Unclip it to reveal more fuses. I recommend turning off the ignition before replacing any fuse, and always replace with the original specifications. When cleaning the driver's area, don't overlook this small cover as dust accumulation can easily affect electrical contacts.
