Hi folks,
The 'cigarette lighter' socket that's next to the side door has stopped working so I assumed it was one of the fuses - I checked them and they all seem fine so it would seem that the socket itself is faulty...
I didn't solve my issue but the video may be of use for anyone needed to change a fuse in VW California T6. Back to VW for another repair!
Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I have been searching for this fuse box location for too long. No online manuals or videos have revealed this and the manual is in German.

This reminds of my old Peugeot [back in 1996]... had a lighter like yours, and when I plugged my phone for the GPS and the Fuse stopped. I went to buy "only the blue one" and eery time I did something - I dont know what - the fuse went dead. I went to the garage, who changed it, did not do the "I dont know what" (because it was not identified) and it was working. As soon as I did this "I dont know what", it broke again. The result was : this is to heat the wire and light a cigarette. It does not do USB things... He changed it, and I forgot about it, because it worked until today... So, It could be this... who knows ! Chin up ! and lots of love to you all !

Thank you so much. Had the fuses out from under passenger seat, from fuse box in battery compartment. Would never have found these fuses without your help.

Glad you've been directed to the 'under seat' fuses. Obviously 95% of the vans made are just panel vans. So all the stuff in the dash is basically for the panel vans. Anything camping related hasn't been built into the dash so is found elsewhere (in this case with one of your leisure batteries). Don't feel too bad, most vw dealers don't know where the camping fuses are!

Cheers PH! It’s not very clear in the guide book but I’ll look again tomorrow and do an update vid. It’s good in a way as it will help folks such as myself (and VW) to find this info cause there are no vids (that I could find) re the T6 fuses... I’m still learning! 😉J.

@@The_Rainmaker its bonkers. They've been making these since 2004 and this level of confusion exists even in dealers. A member has a thread on the forum atm where Aberdeen main dealer can't fix a similar fault yet forum members can see the fault on one of her photos.

I know and I’m getting flashbacks with the issues we’ve had - they had the van for 6 weeks at one stage to fix a fault! Nuts!!! 🥜

A lot of different hiding places they have in those vans and thanks to you I fond it but have to say it's not easy to get to them at al.

Did you check under the passenger seat? There's another set of fuses there.....i have a feeling the 12v socket fuses are on that one.

I didn’t ‘cause the guidebook didn’t mention it (i don’t think so). Yours is the second comment so I’ll check it out... Cheers!

@LOWRIandSEREN
@LOWRIandSEREN 5 лет назад
@@The_Rainmaker It could be due to them in theory being part of the habitation area so not a standard van fuse. Not sure if you use the account attached to your youtube account but I've just emailed you a couple of docs which should be the layout for fuses on your T6.

Is that 12v socket live all the time? If so its probably powered from the leisure battery, maybe a 15 amp fuse in the fuse box under the passenger seat?

I assume the charger works in the others? If so wonder if it's just dirty, if you get a cotton bud you might be able to clean it out.

Nah, tried other items in the socket and its dead unfortunately... Id need to pull it out and have a good look at it but I'll leave to the service...

man!!! this is not the way of removing this cover (bottle holder), there are two clips to be pressed together to remove and place the cover. this what you do is simply wrong… you should change your video before someone brakes his bottle holder this way…
