Blown fuse mystery

Post by lukeeylu » Fri Mar 21, 2014 11:03 pm

Right this has bothered me all day.

I've googled and look on here and bongo forum.

I was fitting a new radio today, was working until I pressed it back in to place and now nothing.

I'm getting a flashing glow plug light and also the central locking and interior lights have stopped too

This would all point towards a blown fuse probably caused by trapping a wire whilst refitting the radio!

Now after searching the web all afternoon it says that the 10amp red fuse in location number 1 (top left of fuse box under steering wheel) would be the fuse..... only problem Is I don't have one there! And from what I can see no connectors going to the back of that fuse location either!

Its a 2.5d ford Freda with a full conversion in the back so hob, sink, fridge etc.

Does any one have any ideas abouot where to start looking?-= :shock:

I don't know which fuse... but if you have a multi meter check the continuity of each fuse. And pull the radio back out and make sure you haven't pinched a cable.

Fuse number 1 is cabin power lights etc
As you have a conversion I be leave they change this so it is supplied from the leisure battery so you have lights and power etc from leisure battery
Maybe you have another small fuse box fitted
Some one more techy will be along soon

Thanks for the replies.

I have now located another fuse box with the blown fuse by following the L/B.

Happy camper once again.
