Volkswagen Golf 5 th generation was produced in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 mainly in the hatchback, with both petrol and diesel engines. In our material you will find a designation of the Volkswagen Golf 5 fuse boxes and relays with diagrams and photographs. Let’s show the location of all electronic control units. Separately, we note the fuse responsible for the cigarette lighter. This material will also be useful to the owner of Volkswagen Jetta 5 cars, since these models have a similar electrical circuit.

Having a problem with my son’s 09 Golf GTI. The passenger headlight isn’t working, then the passenger taillight and brake light went out. Replaced the bulbs, they all worked for 2 days then went out. Now we have no lights on the passenger side. No headlight or taillights. I’m stuck. Maybe a wiring problem? Maybe a relay going bad? I can’t figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I’m looking for the fuse/relay for the driver’s side power seat on a 2010 Jetta SE. Ever since water got in and accumulated in the Driver’s side foot well, the power seat doesn’t work anymore. I’ve already cleaned out the connectors, and the passenger’s side power seat works, just can’t find any info about the driver’s side fuse/relay location.

check wiring loom at the gearbox(around starter) they go bad and touch eachother
Could you please help and email a wiring diagram as well as fuse and relays info for a 2009 Jetta (A5) MK5 , the fuse box in the engine compartment in my car are different to those Type 1 and 2 shown, mine only has 1 relay numbered as (100) and there are only 17 fuses inside the car, I am currently having a crank no start and it is very expensive to call out a technician.
