Title: Fuse 8 Radio? many other functions also
Post by hopper on Jan 21^st, 2009, 7:49am

Hi,

I've noticed that fuse 8 a 5amp fuse which is for the Radio according to the owners handbook also has many other circuits linked to it. When the fuse blows or is removed other function affected on my 24v estate Mreg are
1. windows will not work from drivers or passengers side switches.
2. the electric mirrors will not operate with the ignition on.
3. The electric seats will not adjust with the ignition on
4. The blower motor will not work

I understand that this 5amp fuse cannot control the full operating power to these motors as they draw too much power and have seperate fuses 30amp or 20amp but i think they may somehow control the electric supply to the modules which is why it is 5amp also it appears to be part of the Global opening and closing system but again just the control module but not the power for the motors them selves. Hope this may help others in finding that what appears to be unrelated

Regards Chris
