Checking and Replacing Fuses in VW Golf mk3 & Jetta
Caution!
Using the wrong fuse, using a blown fuse that has been repaired, and using metal objects in place of fuses to complete the electrical connection in the circuit can cause fires and serious personal injury.
- Never replace a fuse with one that has a higher amp rating. Replace a blown fuse only with a fuse of the same amperage (same color and same imprint) and same overall size.
- Never repair fuses.
- Never replace fuses with a metal strip, a paper clip, or a similar object.
Location of the Fuse Box
The fuse/relay panel is located under the left side of the dash board.
