Open the glove box.
On the left side of the glove box, you will see a small, black plastic cover.
Remove the cover to access the fuse box.
The fuse box contains a variety of fuses that protect different electrical components in the vehicle. If a fuse blows, it will need to be replaced in order for the corresponding electrical component to work again.
Here is a diagram of the fuse box layout in a 2003 Volkswagen Polo:
