Get Maintenance and Breakdown -> Fuses Guide for Volkswagen ID.5 SUV First Generation (2021-2025)

At the time of publication we are unable to provide an complete overview of the locations of the fuses for the electrical consumers.

This is because the vehicle is under constant development, because fuses are assigned differently depending on the vehicle equipment

level and because several electrical consumers may use a single fuse. You can obtain more information about the fuse assignment from

a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.

Several electrical consumers can share a single fuse. Conversely, a single consumer could have more than one fuse.

Therefore fuses should only be replaced when the cause of the fault has been rectified.

1. If a new fuse blows again shortly after fitting, have the electrical system checked by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen

recommends using an authorised repairer.

Fuses for emergency services

A fuse for the high-voltage system in the dash panel fuse box is labelled with a special tag to allow emergency services to de-energise

the vehicle as quickly as possible. Never attempt to replace these fuses or swap them with other fuses in other slots → . If this fuse

is faulty, always have it replaced by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.

WARNING

The voltage in the high-voltage system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.

● Never touch the electrical cables in the bonnet space.

● Never repair or replace fuses of the high-voltage system yourself.

● Always have work performed by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.

WARNING

Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses and bridging an electrical circuit without fuses can cause serious damage or a fire in the

vehicle. This can result in serious or fatal injuries.

● Replace fuses only with fuses with the same rating and size. Make sure that the colour and markings are identical to the defective

fuse.

● Never repair fuses.

● Never use a metal strip, paper clip or similar objects to replace a fuse.

NOTICE

The high-voltage fuses identified with special tags in the fuse box in the dash panel are intended for use only by the emergency

services so that they can de-energise the vehicle in an emergency situation. If these high-voltage fuses are removed improperly, this

can result in damage to the vehicle.

● Never remove the specially tagged fuses in the dash panel.

● Seek expert assistance if the high-voltage system was switched off. The vehicle is no longer ready to drive.

NOTICE

If a fuse is replaced when the ignition is switched on, the vehicle’s drive system is activated, lights are switched on or when other

electrical consumers are switched on, this can damage the electrical system.

● Always deactivate the vehicle’s drive system and switch off the lights and other electrical consumers.

● Make sure that it is not possible to activate the vehicle’s drive system when changing a fuse.

NOTICE

Damage can also be caused at other locations in the electrical system if a fuse is replaced with a fuse that has a higher rating.

● Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher rating.

NOTICE

Dirt and moisture in the fuse boxes can damage the electrical system.

● Protect open fuse boxes against the ingress of dirt and moisture.

● Avoid causing short circuits in the electrical system.

● Check that the covers of the fuse boxes are closed tight again and are not damaged.

There are also other fuses in the vehicle. These should be changed only by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen

recommends using an authorised repairer.

Opening the fuse box in the bonnet space

In the bonnet space: fuse box.

1

Fuse box cover.

In some vehicles, a pair of plastic grippers for removing fuses is located on the inside of the cover of the fuse box or on the fuse carrier.

Removing the cover

1. Open the bonnet.

2. To unlock the fuse box cover, push the catches in the direction of the arrow → Fig. 1 1 .

3. Lift off the cover.

Installing the cover

1. Place the cover on the fuse box.

2. Press the cover down until the cover audibly engages into position on both sides.

The overview shows the fuse locations of the electrical consumers relevant for the driver. The first column in the overview contains the

location. The other columns contain the amp rating, the fuse type and the electrical consumer protected by the fuse.

Depending on country and on the equipment of your vehicle, the fuse numbers and positions may differ to those given in the overview.

If necessary, ask a suitably qualified workshop for the exact fuse layout. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.

5. Once the new fuse has been inserted, put the plastic grippers back in the cover.

6. Insert the cover again or close the fuse box cover.

.

NOTICE

You can damage another location in the electrical system by using a fuse with a higher amp rating.

● Never replace a fuse with a fuse that has a higher rating.

For technical reasons, your vehicle may not be push-started → . If the vehicle’s drive system cannot be activated because the 12-volt

vehicle battery is discharged, you can use the 12-volt vehicle battery in another vehicle to activate the vehicle’s drive system.

For technical reasons, the jump-start connection points on electric vehicles are not suitable for being used to jump start other vehicles

→

.

WARNING

Using the jump leads incorrectly or performing the jump start procedure incorrectly can cause the 12-volt vehicle battery to explode.

This can result in serious injuries.

● Always read and observe the warnings and safety information before carrying out any kind of work on the 12-volt vehicle battery

(→ 12-volt vehicle battery).

● Never confuse the positive battery terminal with the negative battery terminal.

● Never perform jump starting on a vehicle with a frozen or thawed 12-volt vehicle battery.

WARNING

A highly explosive mixture of gases is given off when the 12-volt vehicle battery is jump started. The explosive gas can ignite due to

sparks when carrying out jump starting. This can result in serious injuries.

● Always keep fire, sparks, naked flames and lit cigarettes away from the 12-volt vehicle battery.

● Avoid electrostatic discharge in the vicinity of the 12-volt vehicle battery.

NOTICE

Tow-starting the vehicle can cause considerable damage to the vehicle.

● Carry out jump starting to activate the vehicle’s drive system.
