Starting failure SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Fox 2007  145000 miles
Good night, when turning the ignition key, my Fox does not start at all. It seems as if the battery charge was depleted, but the radio and lights do turn on. It might be a fuse or a relay that is failing but I do not know where the fuse box is located. Is it something else that is causing my problem? Thanks.

The fuse box is on the driver's side, right in front of the driver's knees. It is a rectangular box placed in an horizontal position. There are more fuses in the battery positive terminal, and I guess the problem must be there as these are the biggest fuses.

Thank you, gustavus. I will take your advice into consideration.

I wanted to share with you that I checked fuses and relays with the help you gave me, but they were alright. Finally, the problem was the commutator switch. I bought it, replaced it and the problem disappeared.

Starting failure SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Fox 2006  230000 miles
Hi, I own a Fox 2006 and, from one day to the other, it did not start any more. The previous night, I had left the ground wire from the battery disconnected in order to reset errors in the ECU. The following day, I connected the wire again, put the key in the ignition and the needles did not move and the light indicators on the dashboard did not turn on either. When turning the key completely, the starter activates but the engine does not start. The front lamps, stereo, blinkers and windscreen wipers turn on. As the alarm remote control was not working, I used to activate it from the driver's lock and desactivate it by putting the key in the ignition; now, the alarm cannot be desactivated that way. I would appreciate any advice or help you could give me. Thank you in advance.

The problem was solved. The red button in the fuse box that disconnects the alarm was damaged and, when this happens, the current to the computer is cut.

Windshield cleaning system's hose SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Fox 2007  90000 miles
The windshield cleaning system doesn't have any water. Even though I fill the little tank, as the hose is released, the water is lost. I do not know where to connect the hose, can anyone tell me please? My other problem is that I changed the stereo but the steering wheel's command is not working. What can I do? Thank you so much.

Check the fuse behind the stereo.
