[@merlyn2121]

Hi I'm Tim and I'm going to tell you how to replace a window fuse on a VW car. So we got this car in 2009 after my wife had an accident at a crossroads guy just t boned her. She had a 2008 Kia soul but wanted something convertible plus convenient so we got this car. Now she loves rolling the windows down when she goes driving. Because we live in North Carolina we moved here because I got a promotion and a transfer but anyway it real warm here and she loves driving around in the convertible. Well the other day alher sister was in town visiting she flew down from upstate New York and my wife is like the window stopped working. So I said well I'll look at it. It's probably just a fuse. But she is like well we are going shopping then out for lunch can you do it when we get back. And I said sure no problem I have plenty of time because it's the weekend for me. I work Tuesday through Saturday and get every Sunday and Monday off. So Anyway here we are and this is how you do it... But before I show you let's discuss what other problems it might be if it's not your fuse... 17 minutes later. .... Now let's get to the fuse replacement.

[@KyleBishop201]

I own a 2016 VW golf R. Only the driver’s side window is stuck and won’t open at all. Others windows are working fine. Do you think it’s a blown fuse or other electric issue. The local dealership is charging $150 just to take a look. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

[@1312cruzer]

Does it make any sounds when you press the button? My guess is, the master switch needs to be replaced (the controll switch on the driver’s side for all windows). I would recommend you the window reset sequence but the window needs to roll down for completing the reset. Try locating the fuse and replace it.

[@maryanderson8121]

Great clear video-Thanks! Still, you have to wonder-Why did you blow a fuse?

[@1312cruzer]

I think it blow when I connected the car battery after a couple days.

[@leeisenberg]

What year model is this? Thanks for sharing.

[@1312cruzer]

2001

[@darrielburleson3620]

What does the picture for the number 14 on the fuse card represent? Is that the top of a window with the gears of a motor underneath? My wiring diagram showed fuses 37 and 43 for the automatic windows?

[@darrielburleson3620]

It worked! Change the dome light fuse and the windows work. I feel like a regular human being now.

Hi good sir I have two odd problems one happened yesterday but let me get to the most relevant one I am unable to unlock my car with the key fob but can unlock boot or I can operate the central unlocking from cabin

[@tendanimokwebo8522]

Oh, the other issue was I drove a whole and parked for 3 minutes around the 2nd minute my car made a really strange noise sounded like a reverse hooter like shhhhh sshhhhh shhh anyway it seemed my started was burning I believe engaging and disengaging but has not happened again

[@1312cruzer]

Can you open the car with the key. Does the central lock work then. Maybe the key doesn’t have power to send signal to open doors. Try to replace the battery.

[@tendanimokwebo8522]

It was my first thought , the battery has been replaced though I did get the battery from a pharmacy so not sure how long its been there or if its a good buy

[@georgemtz8829]

You are the MAN!!!!!! Thank you so much broski

[@Karmaisreal629]

What is this fuse for m8 that you take out? I'm having same issue on a seat altea

[@1312cruzer]

It's the "Interior lights, central locking system" fuse

[@dickyyrrep1383]

Silicone the window rubber channels, over time they dry out, if the car senses too much resistance it blows the fuse

[@1312cruzer]

Thanks for the information.

[@dv8photographyca]

Good to know - the previous owner says when they replace the fuse it blows again.. 2004 Golf

I have a 2015 Volkswagen Beetle and it has power window problems as well could this fix work on my car

[@Mizzcgyrl1]

I should add that the passenger side window works fine but the switches on the driver side doesn’t

[@1312cruzer]

You can check it out, doesen’t take much effort. It could be the fuse and that’s the cheapest repair.

[@Djchris2011]

Can u help me do the same for a 2015 Jetta Volkswagen my automatic doors and trunk won’t open since I messed with some fuses

[@Guenter34]

I tried this, and the new fuse set off my ani theft alarm, and it wouldn't stop until I removed the fuse. Any Idea why?

[@2Boosy]

You just fixed my windows and my no crank no start. I checked all the fuses the other day it was lighting up so that’s crazy. When I pulled it out it was blown.

[@teemill450]

Jetta 2008 driver side window rolls down but the other ones don’t when I press the button for them to roll down they make a noise like if it’s stuck and one of the windows falls on its own

[@1312cruzer]

If they work when you try to roll them down from each door, then you should maybe replace the windows regulator (the one who controlls all the windows from the drivers position).

[@tsepangmashego1236]

Than if is still blow the fuse what should we do?

[@1312cruzer]

Then you have a broken electrical circuit. You shold visit a service

Any solution for a Passat b6. The rear passenger window won't go down using the button but if I open it with the key I can use the button to put it back up?

I have a four door golf 4 from 1999 which I purchased 2 weeks back. All the windows were working fine except for the rear left. Last week I rolled down front passenger window and it wouldn't roll back up. I rolled the rear right and when I rolled up it worked till when it reached 3/4 and it rolled itself down automatically to 1/4... Now only my driver window works. I rolled the 2 passenger windows up by simply putting the key in the door lock and holding it in lock position for about 15 secs... But I can't roll any window down except for driver window which is working fine. The fuse is good, I even tried changing the fuse to test. Another problem is I can lock the door with the key in the door lock but I cannot unlock it back... I managed to open the front passenger door by simply punching the door handle lightly... Oh and central lock button in the car does nothing. This is making me crazy :( Any idea please? Thank you guys for your attention and help. Also sorry for my bad English as I speak Kreol and live in Mauritius. The car is right hand drive and 1.4 engine.

[@sevine4667]

This car is my daily and I live in a tropical island which has only 2 seasons, winter and summer. Even in winter it's hot as hel.. I need to fix the window asap as I'm burning, it's currently summer. 😭😭😭 I don't think it's the regulator though as they seem to be working fine when I rolled them back up with the key in the door handle locking the car...

[@1312cruzer]

@@sevine4667 I hade the same problem with some other mk4. It could be still the window regulator because the button may be broken inside, or there are some electrical problems inside the regulator. Try switching it with someone to check if it is the problem.

[@rajaanuaraffendierajaahmad6863]

My passat cc 2011, right door lock & passenger window not working, is it due to the fuse too?

[@1312cruzer]

I would check the fuses before i would do anything else, but probably the problem is between the door and the car. By that I mean the connectors which is hidden in a rubber tube. The wires do break sometimes and the door lock/window stop working.

What if i drive a hatchback and from my controls the passenger doesn't roll down only up but my side does both . Only the passenger control can roll down its own window.

[@1312cruzer]

I think that you need to buy a new window controls for the driver side (the main one on the driver door). I had that problem a long time ago and have fixed it by replacing.

[@paddycure]

Hi, is this a fuse problem if central locking does not unlock passenger door, only sometimes, or would that be a battery/wiring/software problem? Thanks

[@1312cruzer]

Paddy Curé It can be that the wirres to the door have broken somewhere, and they have sometimes conection when you close/open the door. You should check the fuses first.

[@paddycure]

@@1312cruzer Fuses are ok. I noticed when I charged the battery up to full everything started working again interestingly. Any idea? Thanks
