Title: Rear 12V supply fuse blown again
Post by: Phil L on 21 June 2015, 17:40:11: Can anyone please advise which fuse takes care of the 12V rear seat power supply - mine's blown again and I'd rather not take each out in turn to find it. My car is a 2003 Elite Estate.
Thanks,
Phil

Fuse replaced & works fine.

The User Manual states that fuse 27 is also for 'level control' - what does that mean ? Can't be self levelling rear suspension surely ?

Thanks again

Doesn't matter. You never noticed the difference anyway ;D

Which, joking aside, suggests that they weren't working before... :-\

Test as per guide, just to be sure :y

Post by: Phil L on 21 June 2015, 19:50:20: The car rides fine, and I don't carry heavy loads - so my guess is that I wouldn't be in a position to notice, would I ?

Best thing is to have a look what's under there, and check their condition. :)
