Rear 12V supply fuse blown again
« 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

So, I now know what 'accessory socket' means !

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 ?

Yes it is. Runs the air pump that inflates the air bladders on the rear shocks. Although these often are replaced for normal shocks (and hopefully springs to match as sl springs are way too soft) so have a look at the rear shocks to confirm.

Trouble is, if the bladders run out of air, they chafe themselves to bits with suspension movement. :(

Ah... The fuse has been blown for 2 weeks - will that be an issue for my rear shocks ?

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

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. :)
