radio and cig lighter not working on 95 bongo

Post by martin70 » Sun Jul 14, 2013 5:19 pm

Hi guys and thanks in advance.
My radio and cig lighters aint working after using phone charger.
Can anyone help with pictures etc of what fuse I need to replace.
There is a fuse box under right of the steering wheel. Apart from this where do I go and what do I need to repair.
regards

Hi
No 8 top right in fusebox for starters, also no 1 top Left for radio...
You haven't got a leisure battery, have you?
Cheers

Its the Top Righthand fuse 15 Amp, the top left fuse also powers the radio for backup memories etc.

That doesn't make much sense!
The ignition ticks over but the engine is dead ? What do you mean ???
What sort of engine is it diesel, v6 or 2l

sorry the display is all lighting up and there is a slight ignition. A mechanic had a look at the timing belt and said it is rotating really fast. Does this help and thanks for response

Just a little quip, we all have them from time to time. The trick is not to bite, were all in the same boat here!
