Checking and Replacing Fuses in VW Transporter LT
Caution!
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses, and bridging a power circuit without fuses can causes fires and serious injuries.
- Never install fuses that have a higher amp rating.
- Replace fuses only with fuses of same rating and size. Make sure that the color and label are identical to the faulty fuse.
- Never repair fuses.
- Never use metal strips, paper clips or similar objects as substitutes for fuses.

Auxiliary relay/fuse carriers
Notes:
- The auxiliary relay carriers and fuse carriers are not positioned according to a specific pattern but according to equipment fitted to vehicle.
- The relays which do not have a production control number (identification number) on the housing can be identified via part numbers or colour of wiring referring to current flow diagram.
- Locate the VW part number for the relay from the parts catalogue, as the part numbers embossed on the relay are invariably the part number of another manufacture.
