Secondary fuse for stereo, not listed in manual

[theholycow]

Working on some wiring, I've blown a fuse going to the stereo harness. I checked the manual and it said F18 in the fusebox under the hood, however, that fuse is not blown. Is there another fuse for the stereo?

The whole thing is all apart and I'd hate to drive to work with no stereo tomorrow!

Edit: Found it, see next post.

Nevermind, found it. It's 15 amps, and the closest I had was 7.5, I'll get a 15 tomorrow...

shouldnt that 30 amp fuse be in f19 instead of f18?

Beats me. The owners manual bears no resemblance to the actual fuse layout and VW hasn't been able to provide proper documentation to me.

The car has worked properly for two years since I posted that, so I guess what I photographed there is acceptable.

oh alright...im just trying to figure out why my head unit won't turn on, and i'm trying to find the right fuses to check

If my experience is any indicator, you need to check every single fuse in every fusebox and don't waste time reading the misleading manual.
