Checking and Replacing Fuses in VW Passat B5.5

Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the same amperage. You can recognize the blown fuse by the burnt metal strip.

Caution!

  • To avoid damaging the electrical system, turn off all lights and accessories and remove the ignition key before replacing a fuse.
