How to solve the main fuse problem on the Volkswagen Passat B7

Model: Volkswagen Passat B7 - Years 2010-2014
Part: Battery

In this video, we can see a problem related to the battery light that has turned on in the dashboard of the Volkswagen Passat B7. After ruling out an issue with the alternator, it was discovered that the problem stemmed from the main fuse, which is located in the fuse box inside the engine compartment. The main fuse is the long plate found on the outside of the box, and to remove it, you need to take out the four 10mm bolts indicated by the YouTuber in the video. Before doing this, remember to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. You can find a replacement fuse, for example, on eBay with the code 386202817758 at a price of 57.28 euros, including delivery costs. Once the fuse is changed, the light immediately turned off and the problem was solved.
