Artificial Intelligence Response

Direct answer to the question

• The fuel‑pump fuse on most 2006 VW Golf Plus (5M/5M1) is SC47, 15 A, in the instrument‑panel fuse box. (fuseandrelay.com)
• If your car has an FSI/TFSI petrol engine that uses the J538 Fuel Pump Control Module, also check SC27, 15 A, which feeds the fuel‑pump controller and the in‑tank pump. (vwvortex.com)
• Location: instrument‑panel fuse box on the driver side (behind the small dash storage/“glovebox” or side panel when the driver door is open). A relay carrier sits above/next to this box. (fuseandrelay.com)

Key points

• SC47 (15 A) = low‑pressure fuel pump (LPFP) circuit on Golf Plus. (fuseandrelay.com)
• SC27 (15 A) = feed for J538 Fuel Pump Control Module / fuel‑pump relay path on Mk5 platform variants (FSI/TFSI). (vwvortex.com)
• Fuel‑pump relays J17/J643 are in the relay block above/near the same fuse box. (fuseandrelay.com)

Detailed problem analysis

• Platform context: Golf Plus (2005–2009 pre‑facelift) shares the Mk5 electrical architecture. The instrument‑panel fuse holder “SC” has 58–60 positions depending on build; numbering is molded into the plastic. Two common assignments exist:
  • SC47 15 A labeled “Fuel pump” (direct LPFP supply for Golf Plus diagrams). (fuseandrelay.com)
  • SC27 15 A labeled “Fuel pump control module J538 / fuel pump relay J17 / supply pump G6,” typical for Mk5 FSI/TFSI where the LPFP is PWM‑controlled by J538. (vwvortex.com)
• Relay logic: The relay carrier above the fuse box contains:
  • J17 Fuel pump relay and/or J643 fuel‑supply relay; some trims use mini‑relays sharing one socket. (fuseandrelay.com)
• Production variation: Layouts changed slightly around May 2006; relay assignments and the presence of certain items (e.g., terminal‑50 relay J682) vary by build date, which is why both SC47 and SC27 show up across sources for this platform. (car-box.info)

Practical implications:

• If your Golf Plus is a non‑FSI petrol or TDI with a simple LPFP circuit, SC47 is usually the correct 15 A fuse to check/replace.
• If you have an FSI/TFSI (e.g., 1.6 FSI, 2.0 TFSI) and the pump is PWM‑driven via J538, check both SC27 (controller feed) and SC47 (pump feed), because either can stop priming. (vwvortex.com)

Current information and trends

• Multiple independent, recently updated fuse catalogs list SC47 (15 A) as “Fuel pump” specifically for Golf Plus, and show the relay block configuration with J17/J643 above the panel. (fuseandrelay.com)
• Mk5 community documentation continues to reference SC27 (15 A) for the J538 controller feed on FSI/TFSI engines, explaining why owners sometimes find two relevant fuse positions. (vwvortex.com)
• Diagrams differ by 58‑ vs 60‑position panels; always verify with the legend on your cover. (fuseandrelay.com)

Supporting explanations and details

• System architecture:
  • LPFP (in‑tank) primes for ~2–3 s with ignition ON. On FSI/TFSI, ECU commands J538 (under rear seat area) which modulates pump speed; on simpler variants, J17 switches the pump on/off. J17/J643 live in the relay carrier above the fuse box. (fuseandrelay.com)
• Why fuses blow:
  • Aging pump drawing excess current, wiring shorts, or blocked filter increasing load. These are the common root causes reported for Mk5 fuel circuits. (justanswer.com)

Ethical and legal aspects

• Safety first: Do not up‑rate the fuse. Use only a 15 A blade fuse for SC27/SC47. Work with the battery negative disconnected and keep ignition sources away from fuel vapors. Local regulations require proper handling/disposal of fuel‑system parts.

Practical guidelines

• Access
  • Open driver door; remove the side trim panel or drop the small driver‑side glovebox/storage to expose the instrument‑panel fuse box. The relay carrier is directly above/adjacent. (fuseandrelay.com)
• Identify and test
  • Locate SC47 (15 A) and SC27 (15 A) by the molded numbers. Pull and visually inspect; confirm with a multimeter or a test light across the fuse sockets. (fuseandrelay.com)
  • If fuses are OK but no prime, feel/listen for J17 clicking when key is turned ON; if silent, check relay seating and power/ground at the relay block. (car-box.info)
  • On FSI/TFSI: lift rear seat bottom and verify J538 has power/ground; many no‑start issues trace to a failed J538 even with good fuses. (vwvortex.com)
• If a new fuse blows immediately
  • Suspect a shorted pump or chafed harness to the tank; unplug the pump at the access cover under the rear seat and see if the fuse holds to isolate the fault.

Possible disclaimers or additional notes

• Golf Plus was not sold in all markets; LHD/RHD and build‑date differences mean your legend may differ slightly. Always defer to the diagram on your fuse‑box cover. (fuseandrelay.com)

Suggestions for further research

• If you share your engine code (e.g., BLF, BSE, BKC/BXE), I can pinpoint which of SC27/SC47 is active on your exact car and provide relay pinouts and voltage checks from the platform schematics.
• For deeper diagnostics: confirm ECU commands to J538 (FSI) and measure current draw of the LPFP to detect impending pump failure.

Brief summary

• Check SC47 (15 A) first for the fuel pump on a 2006 Golf Plus; also check SC27 (15 A) if the car uses the J538 fuel‑pump control module. Both are in the driver‑side instrument‑panel fuse box, with fuel‑pump relays above it. Verify against your panel legend due to small build‑date variations. (fuseandrelay.com)
