Rover 75 Glovebox Fusebox?

pETEkv6 · 13th September 2007, 17:21

Hi,
Does anyone have a map/diagram of the fuses in the fusebox under the glovebox.
The other day the RAC came out to help with a flat battery - the cause of which turned out to be a fuse in this box. He removed it for the timebeing to prevent the car battery going flat. I now want to replace it to see if the problem still exists. However, there are several open slots in the fusebox - and I`m not sure which one to return it to.

its Fuse number 15 - controls the radio/satnav/aircon controls...
Cheers,
Pete

There should be a lay out on the underside of the lower "kick panel" that covers the fuse box.

Undo the 2 quater turn screws, and on the bulkhead are two large dome headed plastic fasteners that need a large coin (2p) to undo.

Yup- found the schematic on the back of the fusebox compartment - thanks!

However - the numbered fuses on this schematic do not seem to correctly correspond to the fuses in the box. For instnace there are several 'Number 15' fuses in the fusebox!
Oh well - might be best left to the experts at the garage methinks....

they are 15 amp fuses.Hard to see but each slot is numbered.

As Matt says, the schematic leaves a lot to be desired.

From memory, fuse No 1 is bottom left....If you get a torch you should be able to see the fuse number stamped adjacent to each fuse.

It's also worth noting that not all fuse boxes are the same. In the past we have discovered some members cars seem to have different fuse layouts to others

Worth keeping in mind...

I couldn't agree more......not only that, they don't appear to tie up eith the workshop manual.

Spot on Simon

From late 2001 on the fusebox was different (another victim of Project Drive). If you pm me an email address I'll send you the full layout from the workshop manual.

flat battery with satnav fitted? If it's hiline satnav, check the spare wheel well for water.

Otherwise I have heard of faulty satnav computers.
