Where is the Tiguan fuse box located?
2 Answers
The Tiguan fuse box is located on the left side of the driver's seat. Simply open the cover panel to access it. Before locating the fuse box, ensure the engine and power are turned off. Taking the 2019 Tiguan 4WD Chuangrui model as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of 4486mm in length, 1839mm in width, 1646mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2681mm. The Tiguan is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 132kW at 4000-6000rpm and a maximum torque at 1500-3940rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I know the location of the Tiguan fuse box. It's usually on the left or right side of the engine compartment, specifically near the battery with a black plastic cover that's easy to lift. Alternatively, it might be hidden above the driver's footwell, requiring you to bend down and feel for a small cover on the inner side of the dashboard. As someone who frequently works on cars, I recommend first turning off the engine, engaging the handbrake, and opening the hood to look for the fuse box icon label. Remember, fuses are designed to protect circuits—if one blows, the light goes out. So while the location is easy to find, avoid touching them randomly to prevent damage to other components. For older Tiguan models, the fuse box might be positioned higher up, while newer models often optimize placement for easy access. Still, it's best to consult the manual to confirm and avoid unnecessary effort. Regularly checking the fuse condition during routine maintenance can help prevent sudden malfunctions.
