This brief guide will show us how to access the internal fuse box of the Volkswagen Passat, in simple steps. First, we open the front door on the driver's side and start removing the plastic cover found on the side of the dashboard; inside we will find the fuse box, as shown in the video.

At this point, usually inside the cover, we find the fuse layout and diagram, also available in the vehicle's user manual; we replace any faulty fuses, always paying attention to the amperage indicated on both the guide and the fuse itself.
