There are actually two ABS fuses on a 2000 Passat. One is located under the hood and one is in the main fuse block which is under the dash.
check the fuse for dash lights
I have a 1999 VW Passat and had the passenger side dash lights go out. I had to get new vents for that side believe it or not as they are connected in some way.
Parking and dash lights also on this circuit - do they work? Check fuses Could also be a bad headlight switch

Very carefully!
It is important to pay attention to the warning lights on the dashboard. When the ABS and brake lights flask that means there is something wrong with the brake system.
If all the dash lights are out then there is two causes for this. The first is all the fuses have blown the other is the relay for the dashboard lights has went out.
water in the wiring or a low battery
Check your fuses
