How to access the internal fuse box of the Volkswagen Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Fuse box

These short and simple instructions will show us how to access the internal fuse box of the Volkswagen Passat. First, we open the front door on the driver's side and start removing the plastic cover located on the side of the dashboard, by levering on the sides; inside we will find the fuses, as shown in the video. Usually we find the fuse layout and diagram inside the cover, also available in the vehicle's owner's manual; here we find all the codes and amperages of the fuses, allowing us to make replacements.
