Shut off your Volkswagen Passat before replacing a fuse. Find the fuse box on the driver's side of the car, under a plastic cover on dashboard to the left side, door open.

The fuse box on 2003 VW Passat V6 is placed on the driver's lateral side of the dashboard, door open. See pictures below:





The fuse box diagram is attached on the inner face of the plastic fuse box cover:

Open the drivers side door. There is a panel that the door covers when it is closed. The fuse box is behind that plastic cover.

fuses are usually in the glove box or under the drivers dash or under the drivers side hood either physically inspect every fuse by pulling them one by one or the aid of a test light and a good ground to the test light

I Believe they are underneath the dash on the driver side! if not there they will be situated in the engine bay on the driver side in a black box

chances are if you system was serviced by modern equipment then they would have pulled a vacuum before recharging .. that would eliminate moisture in the system .. the evaporator is inside your heater box .. you cant see it .. the condenser is the radiator like device in front of your engine cooling radiator ..

if the system is changed properly and still does not work or works intermittantly . then there is a good chance that the air conditioner clutch electronic module is bad .. thats a relay like device located on the drivers side behind the dash .. you have to snap off the dash side panel .. its normally hidden by the door .. inside that is the fuse panel and behind that is the relays/electronic modules .. the one that operates the air conditioner clutch is marked 384 .. there are other possibilities depending on your a more precise description of the problem ..

This is a common problem on the 96-01cars, both the Passat and the Audi A4. The turn relay has died on you. It's built into the hazard light switch on the dash. This is a $20-30 part available at any Audi or VW dealership. Replace it and you'll be fixed.
