Hello,
The other week I noticed that my front lighter socket is no longer charging devices. After finding and checking out the fuses, luckily, they were just blown. No problem, went to halfords and bought a set of spare fuses, have to expect more problems, be prepared and all that.
While changing the lighter fuses I checked most of them in the glove box and at the back. 3 were blown, some in locations that should be in, some were missing and some where wrong ?voltage? . ( I should have taken a picture...)
I referred to and corrected according to the stickers on the fuse covers.
After that all is good, apart from a new feature - the radiator fan seems to spin according to the engine rev and not temperature. I am assuming it does not read the signal and is in safe mode...
I have two queries please, may be three:
1. Are there any schematics available that I can trust (or I should trust the stickers on my car only)? I tried to look online, found one for the glovebox one, changed and had plenty of error messages. So clearly that one was wrong.
2. I guess (hope) the fuse for the fan controller is just blown. Any idea idea where that one is located? Assuming in the engine compartment, where is that exactly, please?
Any general guidance, experiences re fuses and troubleshooting the fan are more than welcome!
Much obliged!
