In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Volkswagen Sharan (Typ 7M / Mark 1 / Phase 1) (models 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000), including diagrams of the fuse boxes, a list of fuses and relays, their designation, and the location of the fuse blocks within the vehicle.

Checking and Replacing Fuses in VW Sharan Mark 1
Caution!
- A fuse with too high amperage could damage the electrical part and cause a fire. Do not use a fuse with a higher amperage than the fuse being replaced.
- To avoid damaging the electrical system, turn off all lights and accessories and remove the ignition key before replacing a fuse.
