Hi, Excellent site. My vehicle is a UK, Passat 1.9 TDI 2004. Is there a specific fuse for Airbags and where is it located ?
Many thanks in advance.
I have 2 power outlets at cargo or luggage compartment in my VW Passat TDI Wagon and they both are dead (no power). There must be some burnt fuses associated with these outlets but I can’t find where they are. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Hello, I own a 2002 VW 1.8L Pissat v6 GLX. I keep burning out my #22 fuse (5Amp) – Right-side Park lights. As a result, I cannot get my right front and rear sidemarker lights to operate, as well as my right rear tail light (both bulbs). My right rear brake light does work. What switch relay does my #22 fuse connect to, and what is your suggestion? Thanks
What fuse is the airbags fuse
Hello is there a diagram for a 2002

Thank you
Where is the fuse/relay for the alternator?
How do I reach the secondary relay box? How do I check the relays?
hi I have a 1998 B5 1.8T 20v sport claytronic stopped working so I started changing relays I have changed the 267 relay no change it looks like there should be another relay 284 which seems to be missing so please could you tell me if my car should have a 284 relay I have a feeling it should but it has been taken out by a mechanic I trusted who turned out to have been taking parts off cars to get the repair work that is my only theory because it stopped working after he took it for an MOT which all turned out to have not been done properly.
Hope any can help…
I also pulled the green fan connector off whilst it was on tick over to check for voltages etc and it blew the fuel pump fuse then the car stopped ? why would it have done that ?
there is also 2 un numbered relays on the relay box underneath the main relay box what would they be for ? many thanks again Martin
