A user of the Mein ID forum shared their experience with an ongoing issue where their Volkswagen ID failed to wake up when prompted by an electric vehicle charger. The feedback included details of a potential workaround which involved the vehicle's fuse system. It is important to note that this information is based on user feedback and not endorsed by Volkswagen or provided as official advice.
Summary of User Experience:
The forum member detailed that with the assistance of Volkswagen's quality assurance technicians, they conducted extensive tests over a total of four hours using sophisticated diagnostic tools. Despite these efforts, no concrete cause of the non-waking issue could be determined during the test sessions.
Described Solution:
According to the user, the successful temporary fix involved the following steps:
- The fuse for the on-board charger was removed and then reinserted after a few seconds.
- Following this adjustment, the vehicle, which had previously appeared to be 'asleep', reactivated and began responding to charging commands.
Details for Other Users:
- Fuse Location: The relevant fuse is the 10A fuse marked in the vehicle's engine compartment, specifically at the top left of the fuse box.
- Removal Tool: Users are recommended to use the small gripper (the white tool next to slot 644 in the fuse box) to safely remove and replace the fuse.
