2001 Volkswagen GTI Electrical System Fuses And Circuit Breakers Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	363734
Internal NHTSA #	762604
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	GTI
Model Year	2001
File date	18/06/25
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle fuse card contains 44 picture symbols with no words, a few symbols being obvious (horn, signals), most symbols being indecipherable (5 identical engine blocks with a lightening bolt; 11 identical symbols which may be seatbelts, books or toilet paper; and brake shoes with a turbine inside). The owner's manual encourages you to carry extra fuses, use the handy fuse removal tool installed in the fuse box cover, and refers you to the fuse card for identification of circuits. When my cruise control failed, i was unable to determine if a fuse might be involved. Had a blown fuse affected the engine or lights or other safety system, i would have been unable to correct the problem. Volkswagen's customer service line informed me that no additional information was available (in any language) that would interpret the fuse card symbols. My dealer was familiar with the problem, but could provide no additional information. I believe this represents a significant, easily correctable defect, which could prevent the owner from restoring operation of critical vehicle systems in the event of a failure. I would be happy to provide a copy of the fuse card upon your request.*ak
