Volkswagen Introduction to the topic 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 obtain more information about the fuse assignment from
a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer. Several electrical consumers 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.

1. If a new fuse blows again shortly after fitting, have the electrical system checked by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen
   recommends using an authorised repairer.

WARNING
The high voltage in the electrical system can cause electric shocks and serious burns. Contact with the electrical wiring of the ignition
system can cause serious or fatal injuries.

• Never touch the electrical wiring of the ignition 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
If a fuse is replaced when the ignition is switched on, the engine is running, lights are switched on or when other electrical consumers are switched on, this can damage the electrical system.

• Switch off the engine and switch off the lights and other electrical consumers.
• Make sure that the engine cannot be started when changing a fuse.

NOTICE
Damage can also be caused at other locations in the electrical system if a fuse is replaced with a fuse that has 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 that the covers of the fuse boxes are closed tight again and are not damaged.

There are also other fuses in the vehicle. These should be changed only by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using an authorised repairer.

How to Replace the Fuses of the 2025 Volkswagen ID.4

To replace the fuses in a 2025 Volkswagen ID.4, follow these steps:

Materials:

1. The new fuse of the correct amperage.
2. Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Turn Off the Vehicle: Ensure the ignition is off and the key is removed to prevent any electrical mishaps.

2. Access the Appropriate Fuse Box: Depending on the malfunctioning component, identify and open the relevant fuse box.

3. Locate the Faulty Fuse: Using the fuse diagram, pinpoint the fuse associated with the malfunctioning component.

4. Inspect the Fuse: A blown fuse will have a broken filament or appear blackened.

5. Remove the Faulty Fuse: Use a fuse puller or a pair of needle-nose pliers to gently extract the damaged fuse.

6. Insert a New Fuse: Replace it with a fuse of the same amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher rating can cause electrical damage.

7. Test the Component: Turn on the vehicle and check if the component is functioning correctly.

8. Tips:
