fuse board layout

awvc1 · 13th October 2015, 08:58

I've been wiring in a usb charger via piggy back fuse, and found that the layout of the owners manual fuse diagram and the fuse board doesn't seem right in my mind.

I have piggy backed into fuse 3 which according to the owners manual is memory seats and clock, which should be a permanent live, so I can leave a phone charging in the car in emergencies ( I know the risks of battery drain, I also know from experience of having to spend a night at a hospital having no way to charge my phone when it flats out for use the next morning).

Counted 3 fuses along from the top, its a 5a fuse, matches up what they say. piggy back into it, sort out my earth and connect up my device, and doesn't work unless the ignition is switched to stage 2??

Is there a reliable online diagram of the fuse layout anywhere as I'm puzzled by this!

Do you have the earlier fuse board or the later one with mini fuses?

the later one with the mini fuses - the diagram in my owners manual appears to be for the earlier one then?

thanks T-Cut that's great, mine is the first of those diagrams - one issue - the numbers on page 233-234 of the owners manual don't tally up to the numbers on the first diagram. Do you have the table of fuse numbers that goes with that?

I've actually worked out trial and error which fuse number I need now, but for other jobs, and possibly posterity it would be useful to have this?
