Radio, cig lighter and internal lights stopped working

[micmac]

Hi

My fist time on the forum, can anybody help!

I have checked all fuses, replaced cig lighter fuse.......nothing.....any idea,s

Try the 'dome' fuse in the rectangular fuse box under the bonnet.

Thank you Star Cruiser, where can I get this type of fuse from, are you in the uk.

 

[StarCruiser]

I think it's just a blade fuse from memory. Think it might be a red one. I'm not near the truck to look but it's pretty obvious.

 

[StarCruiser]

Bottom right, 10A standard size blade fuse. Check it and see. Does the radio and interior lights on mine but not the cigar lighter socket.

 

[micmac]

Yes yes yes....... Thats it...............sorted

thanks very much.

 

[StarCruiser]

But why did it blow?

 

[micmac]

I had jump start several weeks ago, I presume this was why the fuse blew, I have been advised to switch the lights on when using jump leads.

Hmmm, sounds a bit strange to me. Just make sure you jump start off the left (from the front) battery is the only advice I would give (apart from the usual cautions regarding final connection away from the battery and not disconnecting with either engine revving). Can't imagine the jump start would cause a blown fuse.

Monitor it and if it goes again try and note what was on at the time. Might just be a tired fuse though.
