Ngl that sticker also gives me the itch to pull it out. Glad didn’t do it. You may have to go to a dealer to fix this.

This car ain't going anywhere right now 😭 I sure hope I can reset myself from OBD dongle

 

This issue might just fix itself if you give it enough time. Any issues I have had have reset themselves by the next morning.

 

Just had to pull the fireman's fuse, huh?

 

It was much easier to read the tab after I pulled it 😜🤣

Yep, that's the one I pulled, I've replaced it, but don't see any instructions on how to reset.

 

What was your intention to pull this fuse....

 

I was just pulling a different fuse to get the 12v socket to unswitched so I could vacuum my back seat after the dog was back there. That I did perfectly and it works great. But….

 

It looks like fuse 27 to me. However, the schematics indicate that it is a 25A fuse for the passenger seat belts. That does not make sense. In the schematic, it would appear to be fuse 28, a 10 Amp fuse. That fuse provides a voltage to the battery regulation control module inside of the high voltage battery pack.

This module is connected to the network (CAN bus), so I suspect that it needs to be re-enabled using software only available to VW at this time. They probably want to be able to inspect it in case the fuse was pulled due to an accident. Are those notches in the blades of the fuse? I can't be sure if that is some type of discoloration or notches. If they are notches, the fuse might be special and designed to prevent a standard fuse being inserted. Alternatively, part of the fuse is designed to break off upon extraction. These are all guesses.

I will be interested in finding out how this turns out.

 

I would pull the 12v battery cable and let it sit for a couple hours , re-attach cable , cross-fingers that everything has reset

 

Some critical errors are permanently stored in memory until manually cleared.
Same if you have a glitch in the Airbags, one fault and it will keep nagging about it until it is reset by the dealer.
That resetting/clearing could in the past be done by switching the car on and off in a certain sequence, but with the VW it seems we can only clear it via external maintenance software
(OBDelevel, Ross-tech, VW native tools, etc).

@VW TECHNICIAN: Please correct me if i'm wrong, but we can't clear permanently stored errors without external software anymore, can we?

 

Plenty of people have pulled the HV fuse in tandem with the 12V battery for a full vehicle reset without getting errors like this. I think the lack of a 12V reset might be the cause of this. Disconnect the 12V, re-insert the HV fuse, re-connect the 12V. (Doesn't need to be disconnected for hours or anything)

 

Did you try to try this method?

 

So how does it look this morning? Did it reset?

 

Nope - this is a pretty serious fault - pulling the fireman fuse - it basically tells the car it needs to disable the power to prevent a fire, or shock to someone working on it. I pulled the error codes from the OBD2 dongle and I'm hoping that the VW dealer can guide me through a reset. Given that it's backed-in and parked in my garage, a tow will be a challenge with the RWD!

More to come ;-)

 

@VW TECHNICIAN is this a real possibility? "If you ask next time you go to service about installing 12V outlet to the front it will be easy to make it"

 

Yes... there is one in the back already...they can use same part number for 12V outlet and look wiring schematics for instructions and installation of dedicated fuse in the fuse box ...

 

@JimmyVW thanks and yes fault codes should generally able to be cleared without SFD or anything but keep in mind some faults can’t be cleared if the condition that caused them is still present.

 

Well he put the fuse back , but i agree

 

I was in the fuse panel and accidentally pulled this tabbed fuse. Now I get the error and car won't go into gear. Any idea how to clear it? I do have an OBD reader if that helps.

Put it back in. Start it up and drive it and the message will go away. Why did you ever pull that out?

 

Not possible without getting authorized access to SFD - Schutz Fahrzeug Diagnoseside and after all inspections . Only authorized shops that have been cleared and approved can access this.

 

Filed under: how to Brick an ID4 with 1 fuse.

 

I am hoping to file it under: "Coincidental failure of shifter stalk unrelated to pulling fuse with cool Firefighter sticker on it that won't brick the ID.4."

Because, I so would have probably done the same thing to get to know my car. I almost tried out the pull-thingy disconnect in the frunk that's not a frunk––until I read of the problems associated with unspilling that milk.

Sending best wishes of good luck to pnwAl, again.

 

delete...again

 

Since I know everyone's wondering what happened - nothing yet - the ID4 tech at the dealership did show up for work today - but of course there's a backlog. Service Advisor promises it will get fixed tomorrow. He said the tech's response was, "on ya, he pulled the fireman fuse!". So, don't think it will be a big deal, or take a long time, just need to move up in the queue ;-)

 

Don't bother other people giving you hard time...
For me you are person who is not afraid to admit his mistake and actually want to share his experience with everyone else in this forum. ..
If you want to call for donations i would personally pay you entire bill if you get to be billed for this.
Involve owner of the dealership and have your voice be heard. .. and who knows what you can get on the end of this issue.

 

Just for he fun of it, I just posted a poll so everyone can vote on how much they think the dealer will charge me for the service to un-brick my ID4! Hurry and vote!

 

You give me dealership phone number and i will take care of over the phone...I'm not joking or trying to make you feel uncomfortable....just trying to help. ...

 

Are we including towing?

 

No
I say $135

 

$150 “diagnostic fee”, but they say they didn’t charge you for the tech’s time, as a courtesy.

 

Should have been clearer, the poll is at the very beginning of this thread.

 

Need poll modifications so i can take care of this expense for you lol...

 

Ok the poll is closed and the answer is clear: total cost was $310. An expensive lesson 😥
Here's a copy of the work order:

 

Ouch

 

Wow...so sorry to hear this.

 

Great news.... 👍

 

Woah [emoji15] glad to hear your back up and running though.

 

So the fuse was reinstalled but into the wrong slot? Hindsight is 20/20 but it's always a good idea to take a photo of the fusebox before removing anything.

 

Quick question are you thinking about applying to become officially licensed by Volkswagen AG and Volkswagen of North America and receive permission to access and use the latest car data of Volkswagen group vehicles.
Your software is still my favorite tool besides ODIS.
And new dongle is running very well.
