How to locate the internal fuse box in a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Fuse box

To locate the internal fuse box in a Volkswagen Golf 5, switch off the ignition and open the driver's front door. The box is located on the left side of the dashboard, in an area normally hidden when the door is closed. Locate the plastic side panel at the end of the dashboard and remove it by gently prising it open at the designated slot, preferably with a plastic tool. Once the cover is removed, you will have direct access to the row of fuses in the cabin. To identify the one related to the device in question, consult the fuse assignment diagram for your vehicle version. Extract the fuse with the appropriate tweezers and check that the filament is not broken. If it needs replacing, always use one of the same amperage, then correctly reposition the side panel.
