1998-2011 Volkswagen Beetle Fuse Box Diagram

Your Volkswagen New Beetle is equipped with several fuse boxes that protect the electrical system from damage. If a fuse blows, it will need to be replaced for the circuit to function properly. This blog post will provide you with the fuse box diagrams for your Volkswagen New Beetle, along with some tips on how to identify and replace a blown fuse.

Fuse Box Locations

There are two fuse boxes in your Volkswagen New Beetle:

  • The instrument panel fuse box is located under the steering wheel.
  • The engine compartment fuse box is located in the engine compartment, near the battery.
Cigar lighter (power outlet) fuses in the Volkswagen New Beetle are the fuses #27, #35 and #41 in the Instrument panel fuse box.
