The central locking fuse for the Volkswagen Golf is located in the fuse box on the left side of the dashboard: to access it, remove the protective cover and locate the fuse in the third row of fuses from the front of the car. The central locking fuse is a 20 Amp fuse and should be replaced with one of the same amperage; once the new fuse is installed, check that the central locking functions correctly and then reattach the fuse box cover.
