In the following post we present diagrams and locations of fuse boxes and relays for Volkswagen Beetle from years: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. The fifth generation Volkswagen Beetle, produced from 2011 to 2019, was an improved version of the New Beetle.

Checking and replacing fuses

As you know, fuses protect against overloading the electrical system of our cars. When one of the components stops working, it is most likely that the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown. Therefore, before repairing, you should check the fuse responsible for the given element. A blown fuse will be indicated by a melted or completely broken tape inside the fuse.

Remember this before replacing the fuse!

  • remove the key from the ignition
  • check if everything has been turned off
  • always replace fuses with the same amperage.
