Where are the fuses located in the Volkswagen Passat?

Model: Volkswagen Passat 3BG, B5 - Years 1996-2005
Part: Fuse box

Installed in the Volkswagen Passat, the fuse boxes contain all the fuses that control the operation of the devices installed in the car: the first is located on the left side of the dashboard, accessible only by opening the driver's door. Once the door is opened, you will need to remove the protective panel to access the fuses underneath: here you can find the fuses for the courtesy lights, horn, fog lights, etc. Each fuse present is labelled with the corresponding code and amperage, as indicated in the manual.
