On this website (link below) you find fuse box diagram and description http://www.autogenius.info/en/volkswagen-passat-b6-fuse-box-diagram

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to make model category. Cranking, rotating, turning is all the same thing. Your vehicle is cranking but not firing /starting / running. Did you test the fuel rail fuel pressure with a gauge? On a diesel vehicle it is critical because there is so much pressure in the cylinders trying to force the fuel back.

sounds like the starter has failed on it

This is such an old thread but if you or come one else has stumbled back upon this thread: When you pull the fuse panel cover off of the drivers side and you see the fuse panel, if you look directly above that panel mount you will see a small-ish hole that goes to the internals of the dash. When you get a flashlight and look in there you will see a relay panel and the closest one to you will be the 384 relay. Most are numbered on a VW/ German Engineered autos but if not that is where it'll be.

find your fuse panel, take the cover off and look at the inside of it. it gives you the fuse location, size and what its for.

Yes a very complex one too. There is no reset per se, Did it just not start or power up the cluster one day randomly?

I take help from online websites that have this service like helping in repair some like reliable-store have instant help.. others are a bit slow which I don't prefer... rest is up to u.. U can also get free manuals

Some relays are under the dashboard, driver side. Others could be the engine compartment. Best to look at your owners manual to check location.

What year, make and model is your Passat? All VW transmissions are sealed and you need to lift the vehicle up in order to access the plugs which give you access to the drain and fill ports. In addition, when filling the transmission, you need to have a scan tool to monitor the temperature of the transmission fluid.
