Looking for Volkswagen Tiguan fuse box diagrams? This article covers the pre-facelift second-generation Volkswagen Tiguan (Model Codes: AD, BW), produced from 2016 to 2020, and includes fuse box diagrams for Volkswagen Tiguan 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, along with information about the location of the fuse panels inside the vehicle and a detailed breakdown of the assignment of each fuse (fuse layout).
Press the release buttons in the direction of the arrow to release the fuse box cover (1). In some vehicles, there is a pair of plastic pliers (2) for removing fuses on the inside of the cover.
