Title: Which fuse??
Post by: Chopsdad on 09 October 2008, 20:20:07
Some time ago I broke the boot lamp, tried to swap out the one from the glove box and ended up breaking that one too  :'(

Anyhoo, Markie helped me out with a new one and I glued one of the others back to life but ALL the interior lights are off line.

These include sun visor lamps, door parking lamps, boot, dash, interior lamp front and rears and the rear power socket.

When I checked the obvious fuses and they all seem fine and just resulted in my having to recode the radio  >:( But then the guide has no 6, 12 and 15 all connected to the radio??

So which one is goosed?? or could it be a relay  :-/

Cruise, dash lamps, heated seats, mirrors all still work.

urm it should be a 20 fuse according to haynes.
F12 is for interior lights,radio,indicators,display and central locking...
also says that central locking and courtesy lights (on bottoms of doors are fuse F20 which is a 20 too!
urm it also says radio is F6 which is another 20

hope that helps you check the right fuses/ helps

F12 is definately radio - but didn't fix the problem. :(

F20 didn't work either. :(

Both tested by replacing with known good 30A fuse.

    Hi Chopsdad,
                      I wouldn't put a 30AMP fuse into one which should only have a 20AMP if i were you because if there is a problem it won't blow the fuse but will instead fry your wiring :o.

lmao! that is a valid point... if you managed to fry the wiring then any fuse wont make it work lol.
have you checked the relays under the steering wheel to the left of the fuses?
