Get In the event of a breakdown -> Fuses Guide for Volkswagen Tayron SUV First Generation (2018-2025)

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.

WARNING

The high voltage in the electrical system can cause electric shocks and serious burns. Contact with the electrical wiring of the ignition

system can cause serious or fatal injuries.

● Never touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.

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

If a fuse is replaced when the ignition is switched on, the engine is running, lights are switched on or when other electrical

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

● Switch off the engine and switch off the lights and other electrical consumers.

● Make sure that the engine cannot be started 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 (illustration).

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 Volkswagen

repairer.
