The fuses installed in the Volkswagen Passat 3BG, crucial in case of electrical overload, are all gathered in the fuse boxes. There is more than one, as with all produced cars, and they are located in different places.

In addition to the one in the engine compartment, specifically next to the vehicle's battery, there are two others: one under the dashboard glove compartment and the second in the boot, near the passenger side wheel arch. Each of them is equipped with an electrical diagram.
