Would speedometer cable unhooked cause my 2000vw passat to misfire and run poorly

SOURCE: Changing a speedometer cable

This is not specific to a Chevy, but the speedometer cable generally is held in place with either a threaded nut or a retaining clip. Pulling on it will just cause damage. Disconnect it from the speedometer and feed the cable through the grommet in the firewall.

SOURCE: where is the fuse box on a 2000vw passat

here are some try this According to the MANUAL (:-)) for the 2001 Beetle, most fuses are in a compartment at the left side of the dashboard. Place a screwdriver into the slot to pop the lid off. The Fuse Card identifies fuses with silly Symbols, and there is no Legend (on the card or in the Manual) indicating what they mean.
There are also 3 or 4 fuses in a compartment atop the Battery-box, and there is no indication (symbolic or otherwise) of what they are for.


When you open the driver's side door, it is located on the side of the dash. Just pry the cover off with a screw driver. There should also be a diagram in the cover.
