    Can anyone provide a chart to identify which fuses control which circuit/accessory/etc. on a 1985 Quantum 1.8? The fuse cover is gone, and can find no diagram on the internet. Specifically need to know which fuse controls the fuel gauge/sender. Anyone have a cover for the panel on a 1985 Quantum, or can post a diagram showing the fuses i.d.? Thanks, David.

    Owing to VW's wonderful standarization, this covers most of it (relays will vary a bit from model to model):

    FYI:
    There's no fuse for just the gas gauge. The cluster has three power inputs:
    - lighting
    - B+ constant (clock)
    - ignition on (everything else)
    - Cup
    '88 Scirocco 16v, 'tastefully' modified.

    things currently broken (Scirocco): 3
    things currently broken (QSW): too many; but, slowly getting better

    cuppie...... Thanks for the link. I'll be checking it out. I have pulled the sending unit and the in-tank pump, just need to check for power to the sender (pump works), and do the necessary repair or replacement. Seems like the float arm and assembly are quite a bit loose. May have to do a modification here. Some one has tie-wrapped the sucker to the housing!

    Thanks, David.
