CAN I REMOVE FUSE FOR FUEL BURNING HTR WITH OUT EFFECTING ANY THING ELSE.I DONT WANT TO USE IT PREFER IT WITHOUT.
 
You can unplug the electrical connector in the rear wheel arch liner on the face lift model from late 2003 onwards, photo below, wrap it in a bag to protect the connector, and maybe tape over the pump connector.

Just pull fuse 5 iirc. That stops the FBH from running. Why do you want to stop it running? The heater is pants without it running.
Oh and there's no need to shout, especially if you are asking for help. It's rather rude.:confused:
 
Hi Arctic in pic 2 that single thin black wire middle of photo do u know where that goes too mine snapped off

That is the earth wire it fit between the fuel filter and the case, I had to make a new spade end for mine as it had corroded, I am sure you can purchase them but do not have the code sorry.

Welcome to the Fuel Burning Heater Club, had a similar experience a 'wee while ago' when ours 'kicked in' it was abit of a surprise as I didn't know we had one....put on the straight and narrow after posting a photo of the 'exhaust'. One can never have enough crazy options on ones FL1 and usually find a new one each time I look inside a cubby hole or unexplored area of the car....except maybe the remote controlled version of 'said' FBH?
