Fuses and relays Volkswagen Amarok

The Volkswagen Amarok is a pickup truck designed by Volkswagen. It has a 2- or 4-door cab, rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, as well as 3 trim levels – Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. Translated from the Inuit language, Amarok means “Wolf”
 . Then the car was restyled and updated is produced from 2017 to the present. Amarok is equipped with two types of engines, diesel and gasoline. Here you can get acquainted with the description of fuse boxes and relays Volkswagen Amarok, their diagrams and photographs. Separately, we note the fuse for the cigarette lighter.

The location of the relay and fuse boxes in the car

 For all Volkswagen Amarok models, the following arrangement is typical: the main unit with fuses and relays in the cabin and the unit on the battery cover. But depending on the level of electrical equipment, it is possible to place both an additional unit and individual elements, especially for cars manufactured after 2013.

1. Fuse 1 for fresh air blower -S97- and fuse 1 for ABS control unit
2. Fuse box C -SC- (72/68 fuses)
3. Fuse box on battery cover (SA)
4. Fuse box on battery cover (SB)

Blocks in the cabin

Main fuse box


It is located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. To access the fuses, the lock lever must be released. After that, the fuse box can be lowered down.

Block for 72 fuses (models up to 2013)

Schematically, the block can be represented as follows.

In this version, fuse number 52 is responsible for the cigarette lighter.

Block for 68 fuses (models from 2013)

Since July 2013, a new, 68-socket, SC fuse box has been installed on Volkswagen Amarok cars (under the front panel on the driver’s side). It is primarily visually different from the old 72-socket block in that it alternates vertical rows of smaller fuses (MINI, 8 pieces in a row) with rows of larger fuses (ATO, 9 pieces in a row). In the old 72 socket block, first there were 4 rows of MINI fuses, then 4 rows of ATO fuses, 9 pieces in each row.

Additional elements

Next to the steering rack, an additional fuse box or individual elements can be located.

Purpose of elements

40 Heater and operating mode switch. Air conditioner control unit. Supply fan
40 ABS control unit

Relay box

It is located on a bracket on the driver’s side under the instrument panel. The relay box bracket is completely hidden by the instrument panel. The SC fuse box is fixed to the same bracket. There may also be an onboard supply control unit integrated into the relay / fuse box (SC) bracket itself.

block under the hood

High power fuses in the form of fuse links (SA) are located under the cover on the battery. It is connected to the positive battery terminal. Nearby is a fuse box (SB), protected from water ingress by a special cap.
