I have Fabia 3 2017 1.2 TSI. My problem is I was checking the fuses and I think I have replaced a fuse incorrectly. My infotainment system is now switched off. I need a picture of the fuses so I can identify them. Also if anyone knows which fuse is for the infotainment. I have seen the the layout of the fuses in schematic form but I am no wiser. Your help would be appreciated thank you.

Hi, welcome.

Fuses can vary so you'll need someone with access to specific information probably from your VIN, he or they may be along later.

The car's 'Owner's Manual' has a layout diagram and allocation number for the fuses, if you get a torch and magnify glass (or take a photo and zoom in) you should see the markings for the fuses in the black plastic of the fusebox

Below is from the 2017/11 version, hopefully it's correct, if so fuse 12 'Infotainment screen', not all spaces are filled with fuses ("Not assigned"). (No, there's no mention of fuse rating cos VW are arses about such things).

HTH.

Thanks nta16 my next step will be to check the fuse box cover. I had hoped someone would have posted a picture of the fuses.

Thing is it needs to be another 2017 Fabia owner with the same model you have and possibly trim lever (not listed), gearbox, and same wiring for perhaps extras, manufactured at the same time as yours perhaps, to be sure of same fuse allocation and layout. Fuse ratings can be different depending on wiring to the fuse.

How you got a fuse in no.12 above and if so what colour/rating?

Lets approach it from the other direction, you put up a reasonable resolution photo (so it can be zoomed in on and landscape not portrait please) of your fuse box and we might be able to workout what might be wrong fuse wise.

Below is from May 2015.

Hi, 10 to 13 no fuses. 5 to 10 as follows 25,30,20.7.5,10

In your photo -

• fuse 5 =25a

• fuse 6 =30a

• fuse 7= 20a

• fuse 8 = 7.5a

• fuse 9 = 10a

• fuses 10 to 13 empty

Fuse 8 according to the 2017/11 'Owner's Manual' is "Towing hitch" also on May 2015 as "Trailer detector control unit - J345".

So if you don't have a tow hook on your car try removing the 7.5a fuse from location 8 and put it in location 12 and see if the Infotainment screen comes to life.

I have only looked at Fuse (location) 8 and 12 I've not checked others.

As I put for whatever reason annoyingly VW haven't put the fuse size in the 'Owner's manual' same as they don't oil capacities, "simply (not) Clever".

Let us know how you get on.

nta16 I finally got round to changing the 7.5 fuse to the position you suggested. I now have a functioning infomation centre again. I am very grateful for your help and appreciate your time and effort, a very big thank you. Next time I will do what I usually do and take a picture first.
