Volkswagen Jetta Vi Fuses: Diagram, Block Location

Headlights or the cigarette lighter suddenly stop working is a reason to open the mounting block and check the condition of the fuse or control relay. This article will tell you about the location of fuses in the Volkswagen Jetta VI (2010, 2011,2012, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2022, 2022, 2022 model years), their designations and location diagrams.

Description of the Volkswagen Jetta 6 fuse box

Fuses exist in even the simplest vehicles. They became necessary when electrical appliances and electrical wiring appeared. This element is the first to fail when the current level increases, thereby protecting expensive devices.

In cars, disposable fuses are used from a low-fusible element and a mechanism for attaching to contacts. These spare parts are located in the car both in the cabin and under the hood. There is a diagram of the protective parts of the Volkswagen Jetta 2013.

Location and diagram (for generation 2012 and 2013)

Protective devices and relays are united by a connecting unit, which is the fuse box. The operation of the car depends on the power supply circuits of the Volkswagen Jetta. The lights, fuel pump, and electric cooling fan motors enter the unit through a relay.

The fuse box plays a huge role for the stable functioning of the systems of the Volkswagen Jetta 2012,2013 models. The unit is located in the interior of the Volkswagen Jetta, on the left side of the instrument panel.

The upper shelf that is located there consists of a retaining screw, the lower instrument panel cover, the instrument panel and the cover that protects the fuse box. If the devices malfunction, you should look into the unit.

A device that is faulty will be immediately noticeable by its melted part and black coating.

Which method is better and safer?

Regardless of which method you choose to both disable and re-enable the Volkswagen Jetta headlight washer, each of them still has its own positive and negative aspects. So, for example, having solved your problem by removing the fuse, an error will be constantly recorded.

The decision is up to you!

In the case of a software approach, not only is an adapter required, which is quite expensive, but without it, the reverse steps cannot be performed and the headlight washer function on the Volkswagen Jetta cannot be connected back. Therefore, before using the second option, it is better to think several times.

Although in general, both methods are quite acceptable options for competently and independently approaching the question of how necessary the washer function is and how to disable it yourself. Thus, each Volkswagen Jetta car owner, comparing the presented pros and cons of the methods, will choose for himself the most suitable solution to this problem.

Volkswagen Jetta 6 fuses

The 6th generation Volkswagen Jetta was produced from 2010 to 2016. Protection of the on-board electrical network and its components consists of relays and fuses. For ease of maintenance, they are assembled into several separate modules.

Fuse box locations

The 6th generation Volkswagen Jetta has two main fuse modules:

1. Engine compartment unit - located in the engine compartment on the driver's side near the fender. To protect against dust and moisture, it is sealed with a sealed lid. It is secured on both sides with latches.
2. Interior module - located on the driver's side at the bottom of the instrument panel under the headlight switch.

In addition to the main PCB units, the vehicle is equipped with several relay modules.

Underhood fuse module

The engine compartment PCB and relay unit has six relay slots and 37 fuse slots. Not all slots are used, some are additional.

Volkswagen Jetta 5 fuses

To prevent damage to electrical appliances or on-board network circuits, the 5th generation Volkswagen Jetta, produced from 2005 to 2010, uses fuses and fuses. They are located in modular blocks together with relays.

Where are the fuse boxes located?

In the VolksWagen Jetta 5, the manufacturer assembled all the fuses into two blocks:

1. Engine block - located in the engine compartment, on the driver's side, next to the expansion tank for brake fluid.
2. Cabin module - located on the side of the dashboard on the driver's side.

Underhood fuse module

To access the motor fuse and relay module, you need to move the fixing elements of the cover in the direction of travel of the car and remove it. After checking and replacing the PP, it is necessary to replace the cover, return the latches to their original position and make sure that the unit is sealed.
