Fuses under the hood

On vehicles with diesel engines, the glow plug power supply circuit is protected by a high power fuse.

On some models, when the radiator cooling fan is turned on, a fusible link can also be used.

Wiring diagram volkswagen golf 3

More information about all electrical circuits in the Volkswagen Golf 3 can be found in this manual: "".

The mounting block is located on the driver's side, at the bottom of the bezel. It is used to house fuses, main relays and to connect wire harnesses. The fuses are located under the fuse box cover.

1. The main fuses are located under the relay, in one row. The circuits protected by each fuse are indicated on the box cover. Some models have additional fuses installed in separate fuses located either above the relay or in the engine compartment.

2. A wire should be visible inside the fuse. If the fuse is blown, the wire will either break or melt.

When replacing, always install a fuse with the same rating as the previous fuse. Never use a fuse with a different rating or replace it with any other part. Never replace a fuse more than once without finding out the cause of the malfunction. The fuse rating is indicated on the top of the fuse. To facilitate identification, the fuses are also color-coded, depending on the amperage: beige - 5 A, red - 10 A, blue - 15 A, yellow - 20 A, green - 30 A.

If the fuse protects more than one circuit, try to isolate the fault by switching on each circuit separately (if possible) until the fuse blows again. Always carry spare fuses of all required ratings on your vehicle - one spare of each rating should be attached to the base of the fuse box.

On vehicles with diesel engines, the electrical supply to the glow plug is protected by a fuse. On all first models, both with gasoline and diesel engines, there is also a fuse in the radiator cooling fan switching circuit.

The location of the relays and fuses on the front side of the mounting block is shown in rice. 9.18.

If the circuit or system controlled by the relay is faulty and it can be assumed that the relay is faulty, turn on the system. If the relay is functioning, a click should be heard when it is activated. If this is the case, then the system elements or wiring are faulty. If the relay does not work, then either the supply voltage or control voltage is not supplied to it, or the relay itself is faulty. To test, replace the relay under test with a known good one, but be careful - keep in mind that relays that look similar are not necessarily identical in performance and function. On the case of each relay there is an identification number that does not correspond to the number on the panel of the mounting block indicated in the rectangular frame on the diagrams. The designation and purpose of the relay are presented in

As you know, the fuse box is responsible for the operation of all electrical devices in the car tied to the circuit. Therefore, the performance of these elements determines the operation of not only secondary devices, such as interior lights or a cigarette lighter, but also primary ones, in particular headlights or a gasoline pump. Today you will find out where the Golf 2 fuse box is located, which devices are responsible for the operation of the elements and how to replace the power supply unit.

Location and layout

Consider the schemes and the location of the power supply unit in Volkswagen Golf cars of the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth generations. In all cases, the device is located on the driver's side under the dashboard. The only difference is that in the second and third generation models, the power supply unit is located on a shelf under the steering wheel. And in models of the fourth, fifth and sixth generations - directly in the torpedo from the side of the driver's door contact with the panel.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The third generation Volkswagen Golf debuted in August 1991 at the Geneva Motor Show. And the next year, a sedan version appeared under its own name Vento.
Given the "nationality" of the car, the management of the concern decided to try to satisfy the needs of a very wide range of consumers, which is why the body line included three-door and five-door hatchbacks, the Golf station wagon with the additional name Variant, and a convertible. It is worth noting that the spaciousness of the station wagon was almost the best among all classmates. So, the volume of the luggage compartment with the rear seats folded down was 1425 liters.

The sedan practically did not differ from the hatchback: the original headlights, the radiator grille and, of course, the trunk, which has its own compartment.
Due to the design features, the car in the four-door version turned out to be slightly larger than the five-door "brother". From a technical point of view (down to the range of engines), the hatchback and the sedan are almost identical.

The Golf III received a different design from its predecessor and a more spacious interior. Among the additional equipment of the car, one can single out the ABS system, electric seat heating, air conditioning, electric adjustment of the angle of inclination of the backrests, central locking, servo for adjusting the position of outside mirrors, a system for preheating the engine in cold weather and much more that could only have been in the early 1990s ...
The range of engines consisted of six gasoline units (from a 60-horsepower 1.4-liter to a powerful VR6 12V with a volume of 2.9 l / 190 hp) and three diesel engines (two atmospheric 64 and 75 hp and one turbocharged with a capacity of 90 liters. from.). All gasoline engines were equipped with neutralizers, which was somewhat unusual for cars of this class in those days. The most powerful versions received a four-speed automatic transmission with electro-hydraulic drive, equipped with two programs - for economical and sporty driving styles. Also, the sports versions could boast of disc brakes on all wheels (the front ones are ventilated). Without exception, all cars were equipped with a power steering mechanism.
In 1995, a version appeared with a very powerful 2.8-liter engine (172 hp) under the hood. It was possible to install an engine of this volume in a relatively small car due to its compactness - thanks to the VR6 scheme.
The period in which the Golf III / Vento appeared was marked by a more detailed study of the passive safety of cars in general. Therefore, this model is distinguished by special deformable zones upon impact, reinforced by the frame, and amplifiers built into the doors. Also, the car could be equipped with airbags for the driver and passenger in the front seat and a steering column deformable by 170 mm. The engineers who created the Golf III / Vento gave customers a 12-year guarantee against corroded body corrosion.

This manual provides instructions for the operation and repair of all modifications of the Volkswagen Golf III / Vento manufactured since 1991.

Emergency response Volkswagen Golf 3 / Vento since 1991 Replacing fuses

4. Replacing the fuses

The electrical circuits of the vehicle are each individually protected by fuses.
The central mounting block with relays and fuses is located under the cover at the bottom above the vehicle pedals.

How to replace a fuse

1. Switch off the corresponding consumer.
2. Remove the cover. To do this, press both buttons, pull the cover down from the front and remove it.
3. Using the fuse list, determine which fuse belongs to the failed current consumer.
4. Remove the appropriate fuse.
5. A burnt-out fuse, which can be identified by particles of molten metal scattered along its walls, should be replaced with a new fuse rated for the same current.
6. Insert the four tabs of the cover from the back into the casing and, taking the cover by the front, turn it up until it is securely locked in the closed position.
Note:
If a newly installed new fuse blows again after a short period of time, the current consumer must be checked as soon as possible by a Volkswagen service company.
In no case should the fuses be "repaired", as this can lead to serious malfunctions in other elements of the car's electrical system.
Some of the power consumers listed below refer only to certain vehicle versions or are custom-made equipment.
