2023 Volkswagen Caddy Fuses and Fuse Box User Guide

The 2023 Volkswagen Caddy’s fuse box is critical for controlling electrical components and ensuring proper vehicle operation. It contains fuses that protect circuits from overloads and assist in troubleshooting problems with the vehicle’s lights, accessories, and other electrical systems.

Volkswagen Introduction Guide

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 get more information about the fuse layout from a correspondingly qualified workshop.

Several pieces of electrical equipment 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. If a new fuse blows again shortly after fitting, have the electrical system checked by a suitably qualified workshop as soon as possible.

WARNING
High voltages in the electrical system can cause electric shocks, serious burns and death.

• Never touch the electrical wiring of the ignition system.
• Avoid causing short circuits in the electrical 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
The electrical system can be damaged if a fuse is replaced with the ignition switched on, with the engine running, with the lights switched or with other electrical consumers switched on.

• Always switch off the engine and switch off the lights and other electrical consumers.
• When changing a fuse, make sure that it is not possible to start the engine.

NOTICE
Damage can also occur at another location in the vehicle’s electrical system if a fuse is replaced by a fuse with 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 to make sure that the fuse box covers are closed tightly again and are not damaged.

This chapter does not refer to all the fuses located in the vehicle. These should be changed only by a correspondingly qualified workshop.

Fuse table for fuses in the dash panel

The table shows the fuse locations of the electrical equipment relevant for the driver. The first column in the table contains the fuse location. The other columns contain the amp rating, the fuse type and the consumer protected by the fuse. Depending on the country and vehicle specification, the fuse numbers and positions may differ to those given in the table. If necessary, ask a correspondingly qualified workshop for the exact fuse layout.
