Hi, our radio has stopped working and weirdly st the same time the key opens the front doors in the cab but doesn't lock them both! Have no idea why this is happening-really would just like radio to work again! Any thoughts?

If the radio has stopped working completely then look towards the top right fuse by the drivers knee, or its equivalent on the leisure battery.

The lock problems sounds much more like the drivers door loom, check the state of the loom on the drivers lower door hinge, the constant movement causes the wires to work harden and then to start breaking inside the insulation, if it is a broken wire then there is a repair kit available to replace all the wires as you will find other wires will start to break if you only fix one! https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bespokeautoe ... ervices_uk

Thank you I wondered if it was a fuse and wasn't sure which particular one it was.

Someone has added "piggy back" fuses, these are extensions that allow another connection to be made the extra lead in each case then runs off to a connector for even more leads in your case.
The top right fuse is the Accessories fuse and becomes live at the first Ignition switch position. The
The fuse on the second row down is only live when the Ignition is ON and its switched off during starting as well often used for coolant level alarms etc to avoid nasty voltage spikes during starting damaging electronics.

Do I replace the ones on the 'piggy back' or do I remove them to get to the top right fuse.
