I own a 2010 Volkswagen Beetle and recently encountered a P0864 diagnostic trouble code. After removing the 20-amp fuse, my vehicle will not start. The car displayed the P0864 error code, which I believe is related to the transmission control module or gear position sensor. I'm seeking clarification on whether this specific fuse plays a critical role in starting the engine and if replacing it resolves the issue.
Could you please specify which 20-amp fuse was removed or replaced? The exact location and function of the fuse may help determine if it's related to the transmission or electrical system.
This post is over three years old. While the information might still be helpful, the vehicle’s condition and fault codes could have changed since then.
I included the link above to assist future users who may search for P0864 in a 2010 VW Beetle. The original poster is no longer seeking help, so this post serves as a reference rather than an active troubleshooting thread.
Thanks for the insight — kewl! (x2)
