Jetta fuse diagram 6. Purpose of the VW Jetta fuse box. Removal and replacement process

How to change Jetta fuses

First you need to remove the fuse box cover. Under the hood it is secured with a latch at the rear, and in the cabin it is simply removed using the lower edge. Next, you need to take pliers and pull out the required fuse, which a fuse diagram will help you find. Such a diagram is often drawn on the block cover, but unfortunately this is not the case with the Jetta; it has neither a layout diagram nor fuse ratings. Therefore, it should be found in the user manual or repair manual. If you do not have such a brochure, then the Jetta 6 fuse diagram is available in our photo report.

It is worth holding the fuse up to the light to make sure that its thread has blown. Then eliminate the reason why it blew and install a new fuse of the same rating as its predecessor.

Removal and replacement process

The need to replace a burnt-out part arises in several cases:

• first of all, this is poor contact on the power supply sockets (to increase the service life of the elements, the sockets must be periodically cleaned);
• in addition, this may be a mismatch between the rating of the installed part and the load current of the circuit (to avoid this, it is necessary to select elements with the same amperage);
• short circuit in the circuit protected by the part;
• failure of the main electrical equipment (generator, starter, etc.).

Below we will consider the procedure for removing and replacing fuses in blocks. Regardless of which component you need to replace, the steps will be approximately the same.

1. First, you should open the hood and disconnect the battery. To do this, remove the negative terminal from it.
2. If you need to replace the fuse in the mounting block installed directly on the battery, then press the plastic cover and remove it. If you need to replace a device in the power supply located under the steering wheel, then simply press the decorative cover located under the steering wheel. If you need to replace the fuse in the block located on the end side of the dashboard, open the driver's door and use a screwdriver to pry off the power supply cover.
3. By doing this, you will be able to see the fuses located in one of your PSUs. If you know for sure which component needs to be replaced, then dismantle it using special pliers (for fuses) or by hand (if you need to replace a relay). If you do not know exactly which element has failed, then you will have to conduct a visual inspection of the power supply. On the back of the power supply cover there is a diagram of the arrangement of elements, according to which you can identify the faulty component. If you have problems identifying a burnt-out part, then inspect each element. If the device breaks down, its fusible thread will be torn, and the body of the part itself will be burnt out. Replace the failed fuse with a new one of the same rating.
4. After completing the part change, close the cover of the mounting block and do not forget to connect the negative terminal of the battery.

Pry up the protective cover of the mounting block located under the steering wheel of the car.

Open the lid. Do not forget to disconnect the battery before replacing power supply elements.

Using tweezers, remove the burnt part and replace it with a new one. Reconnect the battery.

Also note: when changing components, you should never use improvised means. For example, some Russian and Ukrainian motorists install homemade parts instead of traditional fuses. As a rule, they are simply a bent paper clip or a piece of wire.

Our site strongly does not recommend resorting to such “solutions”. In addition to the fact that a home-made fuse can cause equipment failure, it can also cause a short circuit in the circuit and, as a result, a fire.

Fuse box: diagram and location

Relay and fuse box on models produced before 1989

There are two main models of Volkswagen Jetta electrical equipment, each of which has its own fuse layout. For models produced before 1989, the block and its diagram look as shown in the figure. Moreover, the value of the maximum permissible current that the contact element can withstand is marked on the body of the fuse itself. Well, its color corresponds to a certain value of this current.

The fuse box diagram for Volkswagen Jetta cars manufactured after 1989 was slightly changed and began to look like this. It is worth mentioning that also in this block, under the fuses, spare contact elements began to be located. In addition, there is a special tweezers for carefully removing fuses from the contact connectors.

It must be remembered that each element is responsible for protecting against failure of one circuit. The latest Volkswagen Jetta models have an algorithm that determines the sequence and location of the fuses. Next, we will look at a list that makes it easy to identify which contact element is responsible for which electrical circuit in a Volkswagen Jetta.

Remember, if any Volkswagen Jetta contact element is faulty, do not replace it with wire or more suitable means. The fact is that the imperfection of such improvised means can lead to serious damage to Volkswagen equipment. Well, for the owner this can result in expensive and time-consuming repairs. And not only the fuse box, but also the devices connected to the electrical circuit.

Thus, when replacing these elements, you must follow the diagram indicating their location. It is located on the back of the unit cover. When troubleshooting, use only original Volkswagen Jetta parts. As a result, you will receive a prompt and competent solution to the issue of repair and replacement of faulty 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.
