Title: Scorpio Ultima electrics
Post by jls1936 on Jan 27^th, 2014, 11:44am

The on/off button on my radio model 7000 woud not switch off. The radio sometimes starts when I switched on the ignition but sometimes took a half hour before it came on. Then it stopped working altogether. I took out the 5a fuse no 8 and went to buy a replacement. I got into the car and the radio came on and will switch off without a fuse!. However the blower power windows and boot catch have now stopped working. Can anyone help please.

The radio has more than 1 feed so may well work without fuse 8.
I have a note about fuse 8 affecting other items but I don’t have it with me however I do remember it affected the blower & I think it may be used for the radio remote.
I’ve seen posts in the past on the mailing list about the on/off switch failing so that’s a possibility with yours.

Edit
Just pulled fuse 8 the temp on the CC works but the blower doesn’t, windows & boot don’t work and radio works but the radio remote doesn’t.
