I’m looking for the following:

I can help you with that! The fuse box in the 2017 VW Jetta is located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. You’ll find it right next to the brake pedal.

I’ve got a fuse diagram from the manual! The fuses are labeled clearly. For instance, fuse number 10 is for the windshield wipers. I’ll try to upload a pic.

That’s handy! I’m looking for the fuse that controls the tail lights. Can anyone help?

The tail light fuse is usually fuse 6 in the 2017 Jetta, according to the diagram. It’s great that the fuses are numbered in the manual!

Good to know! Is it common for fuses to blow? My tail lights have been flickering.

Yes, flickering lights might mean a blown fuse or a loose connection. Check the fuse and the wiring! Better safe than sorry.

I hope it’s just the fuse! I really don’t want to deal with wiring issues.

There’s always a chance it could be a bad fuse. Remember, some people change fuses unnecessarily. You might just need to replace it once.

Haha, true! I’ve seen people go through a ton of fuses just to fix one minor issue. It’s like the fuse becomes a hobby!

12

That’s funny! When in doubt, just check the diagram provided in the manual. It saves time!

Exactly! Taking a moment to look at the manual can really help. Plus, it’s nice to know the layout to avoid confusion later on.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for the fuse box diagram for my 2017 VW Jetta. I think I might have a blown fuse, but I can’t find the diagram to check it out!

You can usually find the fuse box diagram in your owner’s manual, or sometimes on the inside of the fuse box cover! That might help you identify the right fuse.

I’ve had a similar issue before! If you’re experiencing electrical problems like your lights flickering, that’s often a sign of a blown fuse. You might want to check the fuses related to lighting first.

Absolutely, @michael36! I had my radio stop working suddenly and it turned out to be a fuse. Replacing it was easy once I found the right fuse in the diagram!

Does anyone know how to identify a blown fuse? Mine looks okay, but I’m still having issues. Are there specific signs I should look for?

19

Great question! A blown fuse usually has a broken filament inside or appears discolored. Sometimes you can test it with a multimeter.

Thanks for that tip, @tara66! I’ve had to replace a few fuses before, and using a multimeter saved me a lot of time.
