Volkswagen Amarok – fuse and relay

Volkswagen Amarok was produced in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Then the car underwent restyling and the updated one is being produced from 2017 to the present. There are 3 trim levels in Amarok – Trendline, Comfortline and Highline with diesel and petrol engines. In our material you can get acquainted with the designation of fuse boxes and relays Volkswagen Amarok, their diagrams and photographs. Separately, we note the fuse for the cigarette lighter.

Locations

For all Volkswagen Amarok models, the following location is characteristic: the main boxes with fuses and relays in the passenger compartment and the box on the battery cover. But depending on the level of electrical equipment, it is possible to place both an additional unit and individual elements, especially for cars manufactured after 2013.

68 fuse box (models from 2013)

Since July 2013, a new 68-socket SC fuse box (under the dash on the driver’s side) has been installed on Volkswagen Amarok vehicles. It differs from the old 72 – socket block first of all visually in that vertical rows of smaller fuses (MINI, 8 pieces per row) alternate with rows of larger fuses (ATO, 9 pieces per row). In the old 72 – socket block, first there were 4 rows of MINI fuses, then 4 rows of ATO fuses, 9 pieces in all rows.
