Hello everybody welcome to my channel it's Lurgs here and today the Volkswagen
Passat fuse box locations and this is on the 2012 model. But before we get
started there's something I need to do!
'Hey careful man there's a beverage here huh'
Always have a lovely cup of tea if you're gonna be working on the motor.
Right so there's two fuse boxes there's an internal fuse box and there's an
engine fuse box so the internal one is inside here on the driver's side so it's
actually behind this panel here. Now don't use anything sharp to try and
prize this out because you will damage the fascia I've just got the kind of
back of a metal spoon here just a bit of a spatula just stick it in and wiggle.
And it should just pop out. There is 3 clips holding it in so just kind of pull
it away and then pull it towards you and that is the internal fuses.
Now on the back of the panel that you've just removed there is a fuse remover tool you
can use a pair of long nose pliers but if this is here you may as well use this.
Now there is a link above now about how you can test fuses with a multimeter
without having to remove them all but if you just want to go old-school then just
squeeze it on one of the fuses and pull it out and then just hold it up to the
light and this one is perfect. I would recommend if you're going to be checking
the fuses don't take them all out and put them all back in, do them one at a time
because you'll never remember where they came from unless of course you take a
photograph first. So that is the internal fuses here so
let's just put this panel back on so just slide it into the in towards the
chassis so push it away from you and then once it's kind of pushed into the
chassis then it should just line up with those 3 clips, so just be gentle with
it at first make sure it all lines up, once you can feel that the clips are in then
just give it a bit of a Mike Tyson bash obviously not too hard, right there we go.
Right so now what we need to do is check the engine fuses so to do that we need
to open the bonnet or the hood so there's a lever here just by your
drivers foot pull that towards you then go around to the front of the motor and
to release the bonnet or the hood the lever is just above the badge there just
lift it up and the bonnet hood is on hydraulics so it will just stay up and the
engine fuses are over here on the right just next to the battery and they're in
here so to get a look at these just slide these clips towards you and then
just lift it up from the front I'm trying to do it from the back don't know
why I was doing! Lift it from the front here and there are the engine
fuses again you can go old-school just hold those up to the light and I will
just do that on the one at the bottom here one of the 5-amp ones, as I said
earlier there's a link on how to check it with a multimeter which is a
lot easier anyway that one looks ok. Then to put the cover back on just
offer it into place push it down and then just slide both those clips away
from you and that just locks it into position and then after you've done that
we just need to close the bonnet or the hood so just pull it down gently never
go rough stuff pull it down nice and gently until the clip hits, once the clip
hits then just push down on it with your with
the weight of your body, here we go. Lovely jubbly.
