In this article you will find an assignment of the VW Golf 2nd generation fuse boxes and relays, with photo examples of boxes, their diagrams and element designations. Note the fuse responsible for the cigarette lighter.
The number of elements in the main unit may differ from that shown and depends on the configuration, year of manufacture and country of delivery. The actual appointment specifically for your car will be applied on top of the protective cover – the box. And if the generation does not fit, study the description for Golf 3 . Also note that the current diagrams are suitable for the Jetta 2 model.
