In this video, we detail the location of the fuses found in the box situated inside the cabin of the Volkswagen Golf IV, also known as the Bora. The box is located in the thickness of the dashboard, in contact with the driver's door. To access this box, you need two small screwdrivers (or two plastic spatulas) and pry from the lower side to open the panel.

The fuses for the cigarette lighter are #41 and #35 (12-volt socket in the boot). The Golf IV has a series of fuses positioned directly above the battery, and a relay panel located at the bottom of the dashboard, behind a panel on the driver's side.

In models with a diesel engine, the fuses for the diesel engine heating are located on the relay support in the electronic module, on the left side near the bulkhead of the engine compartment.
