i currently have this same issue in my t5.2 transporter, the diagram in the book does not match up to the actual fuses or amperages at all. my cig lighter is also blown with the same issue with the light still working but no power. i bought a tester but have not had a chance to go over all the fuses yet. wish they told you which one it it or where it's located... off to VW for me then i guess.
There are fuses that have the LED light in them, when the fuse is faulty the fuse illuminates. Maybe it would be worthwhile to replace the normal fuses with those one? Are my posts in the "T5 2009 Essentials" thread any good to you for tracing which fuse failed? I don't have the T5.2 , so I can't tell.
not sure yet, you got me out of trouble with fuses once before with those but this one is different. when your on the road and you get out your manual you expect to be able to find the fault...not solve the mysteries of nuclear fusion before finding the fuse.
I was just reading the other thread about fuses etc is it just me or does any one else think that 120 odd fuses is overkill or what ! yes I know some are not used but pleeeease 120 for a van ? Howard
OK then, I will take some out of that thread. :grin:Quote:

Can you imagine how much the 120 fuses would glow if you did all the fuses in fuse box 'A'?Quote:

i found the fuse that relates to the cigarette lighter in the front dash. it is located under the passenger seat. you need to push the seat all the way forward to get to it from behind. it is a blue 15amp fuse. it is located at the back right hand side of the box as you are looking at it from behind the seat. there is a yellow 5amp fuse in front of it. these are the only two fuses on the far right row. there is a little clip on the left of the fuse that holds it in [unlike the rest of the fuses] that you need to pull up slightly for the fuse to release.

While we are on the subject of fuses I recently fitted an electric sunroof to a Amarok , so typicaly I went to the fuse box to look for spare points etc , when I opened the owners manual there was page for fuses with an official statement from VW that stated that as the Amarok was a new model there were no instructions from VW as to fuse locations and positions etc as the car was still undergoing developement !!!!!! Their reccomendations were to take the car to a VW dealer if they had a problem with a blown fuse . Geez how long do they want to prepare a car for sale in the market place , this was the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a new car . Howard
Do yourself a favour, Howard, don't buy one
It'll save you a lot of grief
