Inside your 2012 Volkswagen Passat, there are two distinct fuse boxes. In this new mini guide, you will discover the exact location of both.

The main box is located in the engine compartment, so to reach it, you must first completely turn off the car and lift the front bonnet. The box is situated on the right side, and the cover can be easily removed by hand.

The second box, however, is located inside the cabin, specifically under the small plastic panel at the end of the dashboard (driver's side).
