Fuse for SatNav?

BobG100259 · 22nd April 2019, 22:41

Hi All
Just brought my second ZT-T (as I think they are brilliant!)...This one has a HighLine SatNav though that is not powering on. Original owner told me he started to suffer from a draining battery and the garage told him it was the SatNav not turning off.

Rather than spend money fixing the problem he went with mechanic's suggestion of just removing the fuse.

I want to fix the problem properly though so went to refit the fuse and investigate only to find the correct fuse (5a) in the correct location in the under glove-box fuse board (fuse #11 according to the manual). There are however missing fuses in other locations.

Does anyone know if the manual is wrong and its NOT fuse #11 or is there a second fuse somewhere that stops power to the SatNav?
Funny thing though... neither of the electric mirrors work currently and again the manual says that fuse #11 controls them as well... but as stated there is a fuse in position #11!!!
Help please!
Cheers
Bob

Have you checked to see if the fuse is any good?

Yep - swapped for another one I knew was good... as it happens I noticed the red light on the mirror button went out when I took out the fuse and back on when the fuse went back so its a good fuse... there must be another way to disconnect the pwr to the SatNav? I noticed a couple of loose connector blocks which fell down when I opened the fuse compartment - are these for misc/optional electronics? I could not see any free sockets to plug them into...
